Nice combo, buy this instead of the albums seperatly.
If you already have sap and jar of flies I wouldnt bother with this, since there are no bonus tracks. As the Title suggests: Alice in Chains epic "jar of flies" has been put in a double disk feature with their original EP "sap" of the good ol days. I just found it to be a joy to have both come together in a double disk.
Sap is, in most rights, a different sound to Alice in Chains sound that everyone is familiar with (be it really from Jar of Flies onwards really) but you cannot help and appriciate its unique sound and as a fan, I listened to it without anything but expectations of a great (but very short) album. I was not dissapointed. .
Jar of Sap.
It's basically just the two "Jar Of Flies" and "Sap" Ep's packaged together. This is a double-disc I'd found and bought at a used store years ago, and had never seen another one until right now. It has no extra tracks, but the originals are there, and the majority of the artwork from each disc. I think the two would have made a nice single-disc, but hey. This is a sweet thing for the collector, or for that person who never got either Ep before. I'm glad I have mine. .
Alice, no longer in chains
It has an idealic balance of soft, mellow music right through to their "typical" style. This album was the first i heard form Alice in chains. This vinyl edition is a must to listen to, especially with the SAP LP which has a lot of unusual tracks that you would not normally expect from such a top notch band. To an Alice In Chains fan that does not have this album, then what are you waiting for? Truely a musical master piece!.
