Alice in Chains’ acclaimed Jar of Flies is being reissued in celebration of its 30th anniversary. The EP made history as the first of its format to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in its first week of sales. Hit tracks like "No Excuses," "I Stay Away," and "Nutshell", extended the group's popularity.
Celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Jar Of Flies, the acclaimed 1994 EP from Alice in Chains with this new vinyl remastered edition. Highlights includes classics like "No Excuses", "I Stay Away" and "Nutshell".
Following an exhausting and transformative tour in support of the group's 1992 sophomore album Dirt - Jar Of Flies offered the Seattle grunge icons a chance to record music in a more relaxed environment and intimate, acoustic style. The independently produced EP acted as a spiritual sequel to the group's 1992 Sap EP ,which also featured a more acoustic-driven sound.
For the first time in the studio, singer Layne Staley, guitarist Jerry Cantrell and drummer Sean Kinney were joined by bassist Mike Inez, who joined Alice In Chains midway through their 1993 tour
