2. Description
This is a Brand New, Factory Sealed US first pressing of Alice In Chains' Jar of Flies .
ULTRA-RARE "FLIES" VARIANT: This is the highly sought-after "Plastic Flies" edition. As documented in collector archives, a limited number of initial copies were manufactured with actual plastic flies randomly inserted inside the jewel case spines. Unlike the standard copies where the flies are merely photographed, this exclusive copy contains the physical inserts.
The item remains sealed in its original shrink wrap with the "Specially Priced EP" hype sticker and the Sony Music security seal, preserving this piece of grunge history in museum-grade condition.

4. Notes for collectors
CONFIRMED "FLIES" INSERT: This copy is the legendary "Random Insert" variant . As noted in the official release history, copies with plastic flies were secretly inserted into the initial commercial run with no external marking. The presence of moving objects inside the sealed case confirms the existence of the plastic fly inserts, making this one of the rarest variations of the album. FIRST PRESSING AUTHENTICATION: Hype Sticker: Features the original rectangular "Specially priced EP" sticker (CT 57628 S1), exclusive to the 1994 launch window.Security Seal: Sealed with the period-correct holographic "Sony Music" dogbone strip.Historical Significance: While standard copies only simulate the "jar" effect with an orange tray and a photo, this copy completes the artistic concept with the actual physical flies, exactly as the band intended for the lucky few who found them.
