Joyrex J9ii is an album by Richard D. James under the alias Caustic Window. The release is a 12" vinyl and has received more than one pressing. The title of this release is very similar to another Caustic Window release titled Joyrex J9i.

All tracks were later re-released on the album "Compilation".

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 "Analogue Bubblebath 3" CD release as track 11.

It has been speculated that Mark Morgan sampled the very end of "The Garden of Linmiri" in "City of Lost Angels" for the soundtrack of Fallout.

Pressing discrepancy

First pressing

100 copies were released in a Wilton LP size cardboard mailer, with a photocopied label on the front stating the following:
"REPHLEX DISCO ASSAULT KIT (CAT 09-II)
CAUSTIC WINDOW - JOYREX J9 EP
(FIRST 100 CONTAIN EXCLUSIVE T-SHIRTS)
MISSION CONTROL: PO BOX 2676 LONDON N11 1AZ
IN THE EVENT OF A LACK OF DANCEFLOOR STIMULUS
BREAK THIS SEAL. DO NOT HESITATE IN USING THIS
EQUIPMENT TO SECURE ANY SUBVERSIVE CLUB
SITUATION WHERE BACKUP IS UNAVAILABLE."

And on the rear fl

"CAUTION
The manufacturers of this package
will not accept responsibility for
any brain damage, hearing loss
or haemorrhaging resulting from
reception of the recordings within."
This issue contained a blue t-shirt with a yellow Rephlex logo, some 'Magic Gum' candy, and the first issue of J9ii (distinguished from the later issue by the text side of the label simply stating 'the Caustic Window' in orange lettering, as opposed to the later issues more detailed yellow/green text).

econd pressing

A further 900 copies of the exact same record were also released in Wilton LP size mailers, only this time without any t-shirts, and with some substituting the 'Magic Gum' candy for 'Fizz Wizz popping candy. These also have a different front label on the mailer, this time stating -
"REPHLEX
The Caustic Window - Joyrex J9 EP (CAT 009 ii)
p+c 1993 RePhleX (P.O. BOX 2676, LONDON N11 1AZ)"
The label on the rear flap is the same as before.

Third pressing

Finally, the most common copies were released in plain back 12" sleeves without any of these extras, the only diffence from the others records is the yellow/green label text (as mentioned before, and probably changed to accommodate the information previously on the mailer labels). Printed circularly around this issues labels edge is the following:
"THE CAUSTIC WINDOW JOYREX J9 EP (CAT 009ii)P+C 1993 REPHLEX - PO BOX 2676 LONDON N11 1AZ DISTRIBUTED BY KUDOS 071 328 4442"
