Notes

This pressing is an original pressing without any SID codes.
Jar Of Flies is a DADC repress with "DIDP-080813" in the matrix.

Released in a standard jewel case with a clear tray and 10- foldout booklet with lyrics.
Some copies include a promotional sticker on the jewel case listing the band name, EP name, select song titles, and a third catalog number: CK 57628 S1.
Some copies of the initial pressing were packaged with four plastic flies in the clear spine of jewel case.
Copies with the flies were randomly inserted among the standard commercial release that was found in record stores on the day of release, and there is absolutely no physical difference in the packaging or the disc, other than the presence of the flies.

Catalog Numbers: CK 57628 on spines, disc; 57628 on booklet (back and final lyrics )

Written & recorded at London Bridge Studio, Seattle September 7, 1993 - September 14, 1993

    At 30+ minutes it is an album rather than an EP

      This is the best version of this album. Buy this and forget the vinyls

        Managed to find a copy in the late 90’s at a used cd store with the plastic flies.

          Walked into a Tape World in 1994 and grabbed my copy. Flies in the spine. Somewhere along the way, I lost it.
          Just added replacement to my collection - Flies in the spine.

          This is one of my favorite albums.

            This and the original cassette beat the remastered pressing I got on vinyl recently.

              This CD blows the recent vinyl reissue out of the water. If you collect both mediums, the CD is definitely the way to go on this one (unless you have the original vinyl press, which I have heard is as good or better than the CD)

                Any upfront info on the "filled with flies" version that might be coming out?

                    Hoping someone can add the anniversary cassette release from the AIC official store!

                      This was the first EP in music history to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
