It's no more legit than a Salival vinyl...there were none created on vinyl (CD/DVD/VHS - ONLY). Take a look at this...maybe it'll help. http://www.discogs.com/Tool-Silver-Tongue/release/2009472 Also, take a look at this closed eBay auction. Read the seller's comments at the bottom. He/she is determined not to meet in person...seems a bit odd to me... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tool-Silver-Tongue-lp-green-vinyl-perfect-circle-puscifer-hard-rock-/270962114929?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item3f1699c171#ht_500wt_1182 @baraka98 – You’re right, it’s a fake or bootleg as some on the internet are calling it.

Pleas avoid "ihunt007". He baited me with an "original" copy of Undertow, but when I pressed him for more information (citing this website) he confessed saying that he did not, in fact, have an original. He sent me a free copy of Opiate to appease me, but the entire ordeal was uncomfortable. I just want to echo what @Dave said above. Pleas avoid “ihunt007″.

Don't buy into that "nude cover" fiasco. All covers are exactly the same for Thirteenth Step. This started a few years back with a particular eBay seller who made this up. I can't remember his user ID but I did call him out on the BS (in a nice manner) and he sent profanity laced responses that were just childish and he dodged all my questions. He actually sold some at an absurd price of $150. Sucks that those people believed his tall tale and didn't do any research. Over the years a few other sellers have mimicked that BS story. In their defense, they may have just looked at PopSike or CollectorsFrenzy and thought the different cover thing was legit. Kinda funny that the seller that currently has one on eBay refuses to accept questions via the eBay messaging system, that's a red flag of a shady seller IMO. All the jackets feature the same art. The women is nude is every single copy but her private areas are covered by her hair. Compare your jacket to the one in the auction and you will notice that it's exactly the same. Steer clear of that auction as it's just the same pressing you can still get at record stores. I think it's a good thing you brought this up as it really hasn't been mentioned online. @Eric – I didn’t notice your APC question till now. Don’t buy into that “nude cover” fiasco.

Sorry. He would pay good money for someone to just transfer a digital copy from the CD over to a vinyl record? Dumb..... ass. Anyway, I just filed a complaint with Amazon to have them take down some vinyl Salival records. Here's the link http://www.amazon.com/Salival-Tool/dp/B004M7XKCW/ref=sr_1_8_title_1_lp_?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1331316754&sr=1-8 If you check there and it's still for sale (got about 6-8 sellers right now) then go ahead and complain again :) The guy above me is a dumbass.

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.
