ALICE IN CHAINS 'JAR OF FLIES' LP (30th Anniversary Edition)

LABEL: Sony
VINYL RELEASE DATE: 3/22/2024
ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 1994
VARIANT: 30th Anniversary Edition, Black Vinyl LP

Jar of Flies is literally a record-setting release, being the first EP to ever debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The semi-acoustic follow-up to 1992's Sap EP captured the Layne Staley era of Alice in Chains at their most devastatingly beautiful. Altogether, the subtle dynamics, tasteful guitar work and Staley's knockout vocal performances — showcasing a softer, though equally expressive side of his mighty register — add up to AIC's most enduring release that isn't titled Dirt.
