Compilation

Caustic Window · 1998 · Vinyl-12-Inch-3 · GB · CAT 009 LP

Compilation of tracks from Caustic Window EPs: Joyrex J4 (CAT 004) Joyrex J5 (CAT 005) and Joyrex J9 (CAT 009ii). The UK triple-LP for "Compilation" comes with a rectangular white [print] on black sleeve sticker affixed which wraps around a small portion of the front picture sleeve and then onto its back, requiring this seal to initially be broken in order to open its clear PVC double-gatefold sleeve. The PVC outer sleeve is known to damage the records over time, due to off-gassing of plasticizers, giving the surface of the record a foggy appearance, and potentially adding noise to the audio. There is also a [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/1197388]2nd re-issue[/url] from the Caustic Window compilation, released in 2002. That was issued in a regular plain dark-green sleeve with a sticker affixed on the front which goes around the top and onto its back, requiring this seal to initially be broken in order to open the sleeve. Re-pressed again in the summer of 2007. A full (slower) version of the drone track that can just about be heard in the mix of The Garden Of Linmiri can be found on the AFX-Analogue Bubblebath 3 CD release as CD Track 1. Tracks from the original releases that are excluded from this release are "Pop Corn" (Joyrex J4) and "Untitled (R2-D2)" (Joyrex J5).
