The re-released version included lyrics and slightly different artwork. The aforementioned song, as well as "Brother," were performed live during [[Unplugged (Alice in Chains album)|Alice in Chains' ''MTV Unplugged'' concert]].

In addition to the CD, the album was also released in a limited edition double vinyl along with ''[[Jar of Flies]]'' (''Jar of Flies'' was on sides 1 and 2, ''Sap'' was on side 3, and an etching of the Alice in Chains logo was on side 4). In the UK, ''Sap'' and ''Jar of Flies'' were issued as a double CD, as ''Sap'' had not previously had a UK release. In the UK, "Brother" and "Right Turn" were initially released on the "Would" single and "Got Me Wrong" and "Am I Inside" were released on the "Them Bones" single. Hidden track "Love Song" never appeared on a UK single release and was previously unreleased when ''Sap'' was released with ''Jar of Flies''.
