| Thread (self titled demo) This is not Alice In Chains |

September 1993 |
| Tracks: |
Distance Aside / The Fool / Aviary Garlands / What We Are / Look At Me |
| Info: |
Recorded on Scott's 4-track
Produced by Scott Stoltz and Rocky Polan |
| Notes: |
This is not Alice In Chains. It is another Seattle band called Thread. The band sold the tape for $5 at their shows.
Bootlegs of it eventually ended up being sold at a record convention as the "Alice In Chains January 1989" Demo. It later appeared on the "Tasty White Powder" bootleg. For more info go to http://www.itsnotalice.com. In my opinion, if you bought a boot because of these cool songs you should buy them from the band who really made them.
The lineup featured:
Scott Stoltz - Guitar/Vocals
Rocky Polan - Bass/Vocals
Brian Jackson - Drums/Vocals
