Matrix / Runout (Side D, variant 3 - etched, 'MPO® 20 179366' stamped): 20-0479 / 19439783861-D CB MPO® 20 179366 In an interview with Video Metal Sheet in 1991, Jerry Cantrell said that the original idea for the album cover was "an embryonic-type thing" representing the birth of the band. But it ended up taking more of a scary overtone and fitting quite well with the music. [21] That said, Sap is not as well-known as Dirt or even some of their other albums—but it’s still one of the most unique records they ever made.

Cantrell also credited "I Can't Remember" for helping the band find its sound. [14] "It Ain't Like That" came out of a riff that Cantrell cited as a mistake, however he called it "a cool mistake."

Jar of Flies is one of the most popular vinyls you can find from Alice In Chains. In terms of popularity it’s by far one of the most popular EPs ever released. Although EPs like the Jay-z- Linkin Park collision course have repeated the feat, Jar of Flies was the first EP to ever debut at the top of the billboard. Dirt by Alice in Chains is on vinyl, and it’s mass-produced. You can find a Dirt vinyl in most stores that sell records brand new, or even online, without breaking the bank.Great box set here with a few minor quibbles: The clear plastic on the cover is quite flimsy. It's super thin, so you'll want to handle the box top (lid) with care. Speaking of, would it have killed them to make the lid cover the entire box? As is, it just seems awkward that the box rests on it when it's on it's side, but on the plus side, the lid is easier to get off otherwise. Also, the prints of the guys are on some of the cheapest paper ever. For the price, I would have expected they would've been printed on something more high quality. These look like someone ran them off their office printer. Cheap cheap cheap. And finally, the colored overlays are cool I guess, but after seeing them, they serve no purpose whatsoever. They could've cut the price (or printed the band member photos on better paper!) by just having one transparency instead or some other design. Annnnd...finally...would it have killed them to actually print the lyrics in some font in addition to the artsy-fartsy one that's actually readable in the book? The book is great and all, but it's content is spread out so much that it's like they were desperately trying to pad it out to make a decent sized book.
