2017 & 22 years old, Hip-Hop being my main genre of music, I wanted to venture out and listen to things that i’d truly never heard. As no genre was off limits, I ventured into pop, country, and even metal. I was interested in the things I was hearing, but nothing truly hooked me. That was until I discovered this album at a going-out-of-business sale at the end of that year in my local area. I bought it for mere dollars, and the cover caught my attention as it shone vibrant under a dash of sunlight in a store that was largely bland. I remember listening to Rotten Apple and I Stay Away specifically that night and having to pause the songs as I replayed them over and over. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. the album has really changed my musical tastes, as i’d ventured down the rabbit hole of Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots (which i’d later discovered i’d heard as a child playing Gran Turismo for the PS1) and Mother Love Bone. I can attribute this album to truly changing my life in many ways. I resonate with a generation before my time even more than my own all because of music.

The pressing with the files in the spine of the Jewel case is not a promo, its a US limited edition 1st pressing. Its pretty easy to get but does command a good price. In case you did not know AIC released quite a few cool items of merchandise to promote the release, there were two types of honey jars with loads of plastic files in them, a collideascope and a wipe board, all very cool items of which I am lucky to own. Actually AIC did many innovative promotional items for their releases back in the 90's,

Stuff like this wasn't too uncommon for the first million copies to be released back when the recording industry was rolling in money. Another example of something like this is Warrant's Cherry Pie. The first million all had the explicit lyrics stickers on them because only the first million had the final track, "Ode to Tipper Gore" which was just a compilation of Jani Lane cursing in concert for 2 or 3 minutes.

@@MetalJesusRocks OMG! I am a guitar player and LOVE playing Nutshell , Rotten Apple, No Excuses & Brother (From the Sap EP) on my acoustic. I also play most of I'll Stay Away on my electric but need to just sit down and nail down the rest of that song one of these evenings. I bought this CD the week it was released and my copy does not have the flies or enhanced CD. The first 2 enhanced CDs I bought were actually by Todd Rundgren & the first one was "No World Order" which came out around 1991/1992 - ish (I did not have a computer yet so I didn't get to really use the extra features. I bought a home PC in 1995 & right around that year Todd Rundgren put out "The Individualist" which was fun to use on a PC & I enjoyed that CD a lot. I taught myself a song I love from that release as well titled "If Not Now, When?" and it sounds awesome on both an electric or an acoustic. I thought the enhanced CD format was going to take off but it never really did for some reason. Thanks for sharing this. I still listen to Jar Of Flies quite often & loved it from the first time I played it. It may sound weird but it wasn't until after Layne passed away that I realized just what a massive part Jerry Cantrell was to their vocal sound because I did not realize how much he sang and how he shapes all the background vocals and the haunting vocal melodies. I am not taking anything away from Layne he was amazing. Jerry Cantrell is my favorite guitar player from the Grunge movement. He is a studio wizard who layers guitar tracks that always sound incredible & then add in his contribution to their haunting melodies and background vocals brings him up to another level. As a guitarist I obviously have several influences and what I like to refer to as my top 5 - top 10 - top 20 list of favorite players. I also have a list of favorite guitarists in various genres as well.Thanks for sharing this. I bought this CD the week it was out due to I already had Sap & Dirt and was waiting for this release and was blown away with what they delivered with Jar Of Flies. I am so happy I came across your channel earlier today. I subscribed as well. :)

They never announced that Sap was getting released. It just got shadow dropped into stores. Wish you touched on that a little bit more. There is a great collaboration with Ann Wilson on there in one of my personal favorite songs = Am I Inside. I have the double 10" 1st press on Orange and Blue Transparent Wax. One of the best albums of all time. From what I understand, most songs on Jar of Flies were written and recorded in one or few takes and written in just a few days. Best AIC song IMO is = Died. Nobody talks about that one.

Slayer did something similar to the fly thing, but they did a CD single that was in a "blood pack" that had skulls floating in the fake blood . The fake blood dried up in most, if not all, of them I saw AIC live on the CLASH OF THE TITANS tour, they were great live! I remember most people were there for SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX YES, do more of these videos! I'm not only a retro game collector, I also collect vinyl (mainly Black Metal)

Hey man, love the channel. I'm an old rocker/gamer myself. I remember these type of CDs as I owned one many years ago too. It was a NOFX CD that had a video called un-precedented, about the 2000 election between Bush and Gore, when ran on a computer. Cool stuff.

Jar of Flies / Sap are such amazing albums. Whenever AiC did MTV Unplugged they played a few tracks from the albums and they just brought forth such an emotional weight with them. Not to mention that Layne was in the depths of his drug demons at that time as well R.I.P.

...I recall that the first PC that I purchased in '96ish, A Compaq "Precidio", er something...came with a Columbia CD-ROM featuring Four Performers: Celine Dion, Stevie Ray Vaughan, ...possibly one of the Three Tenors or something?, as well as this exact Alice In Chains Multimedia!...

Love this album. I remember popping in almost every cd I bought back then to see if there was any extras hidden on the disc. I had a lot of those enhanced cds. Shame I never got to see Alice while Layne was still alive. Saw Cantrell open for Metallica and he played a couple Alice songs 🤙🤘

I was a teenager when this came out and at the time Smashing Pumpkins were my favorite band. Nowadays I listen to way more Alice in Chains music. I'd say all around they are my favorite 90's band now. Also, and this might be controversial, I think Grind is my favorite AIC album.

@@MetalJesusRocks I have not, the last time I listened to them is when I believe they were a trio after Layne Staley passed. It felt odd to not hear his unique voice on a track, I know that they have a lead singer now but in all honesty I lost track of them. Maybe it's time to revisit the classics and listen to some new Alice in Chains. I'm definitely open to hearing something new from them !

Dude! This was fun! Yes, keep peppering in some vids on music releases. I don't remember the version with plastic flies, but the CD+ feature I remember fondly in the mid 90's. Speaking of rock music and video games, did you know REO Speedwagon released a companion casual game in the late 2000's called "Find Your Own Way Home"? Kind of a "hidden objects" game with some of their jams featured.
