Up for auction is a rare 1994 pressing of Alice In Chain Jar Of Flies EP on vinyl. I personally purchased this new at a record store in Bogota, Colombia in 1994. It’s been played maybe 5 times since I acquired it. Regarding the condition, the jacket is in VG condition using Goldmine’s standards. Some ringwear is visible if held in the right light. The cardboard stock used on Colombian pressings at the time is very thin by US standards. This is consistent with other Colombian pressing I have from this time. No inner sleeve was included.

The vinyl has some imperfections that do not affect playability. First, the grooves do not appear to be in the exact center of the record. I didn’t notice any impact on the sound. Second, the center hole is actually off-center, and oversized. It looks like the hole was drilled incorrectly and rather than throw the record out as a defect, the manufacturer made the hole larger in the correct spot. I found that if I centered the record it played without issues on my Audio-Technical ATLP120. Third, there some marks on the vinyl that are visible when held in the right light that do not affect playability.  I grade the record as VG (Very Good) using the Goldmine standard.
