Some collectors like me, LOVE bootlegs. And with the likes of 10,000 days, Tool dont give a fuck about supplying their fans with a vinyl release so someone out there has delivered. SUPPLY AND DEMAND. As for Salival, you can get the real one if you want to pay $400-$500 or more or get a bootleg of it for under $100. From what I can tell most of the people selling Bootlegs are not trying to sell them as originals, its clear to any one with half a brain they are bootlegs. Perhaps you think TOOL are on the poverty line and are being denied proper payment. In actual fact the only people being hurt in any way would be the Record Company, and they can get f**cked as far as I'm concerned. And why is it that its big bands like Tool and Metallica and Led Zep that kick up a fuss. Did you know there are some bands that WELCOME bootlegs, now that is liberating. Tool fans with your high and mighty stance on bootlegs are a bunch of whining idiots. Some of the bootlegs out there are actually VERY GOOD quality. And as with other bands bootlegs can be very collectable. I hope that is the case with Tool bootlegs and you all rue the day when instead of buying them and watching your purchase go up in value over time, you all got on your soap boxes because Tool were being denied "pennies" . The more bootlegs the better I say. I like bootlegs and I resent you lot here denying me what I want to buy. If I KNOW its a bootleg and I WANT to buy it, why shouldnt I beable to?. If you dont want to buy it, then that is fine just dont try and stop me from buying them. I dont see what the problem is. Some collectors like me, LOVE bootlegs.

Hasn't shown up yet, but I'm hoping they wouldn't have purchased bootlegs. Any input? Also, is this release on Discogs legit? http://www.discogs.com/Tool-Lateralus/release/2137701 Thanks! just bought a lateralus 2xLP on Hastings.

The main thing is how vibrant the colors are and the fact that the spiral background shows up nicely on the front and back. I bought one that I had to return for being fake and the colors were dark and ugly (just poor quality overall) and the spiral background just barely showed up. My advice to you is to contact the seller and ask him if the item pictured is the actual item for sale. The shady seller I bought from posted a pic of the real deal and sent the poor quality overseas bootleg. Also, $75 is pretty high on the price. You can now find OG originals for $40 and lower due to the influx of the bootlegs. The unfortunate part is many people are buying up the boots as they don't know any better and don't do the research on it. Hope this helped you in some way. Take care dude, all the best! @ryan

The band just signed some of the regular albums and sold them to toolarmy members. However, to sign that would have had to open the vinyl. So if you vinyl is still sealed, it is not signed.

How can you tell it's a signed copy without opening it? It has the sticker on the front that signifies it's not a bootleg. I’ve checkout out the postings on this site and a few other articles to know what the “real” album should look like, and everything matches, but I am wondering if the catalog numbers on the back could identify if it is signed or not? There are two slightly different numbers on the back. The number on the plastic wrap, a white sticker with a barcode reads: 6-14223-11601-3 The number that is printed directly on the back of the album case reads: 61422-3116-1 LP If the only answer is to open it, I can do that, but would it greatly diminish the value of this vinyl?

The coloring is off and I don't think it's just because of the picture. I actually bought the same one from another seller and got to see it up close and it looks way off from the original. Lucky I got a refund. If I were you, I would avoid the one you linked all together.
