I,ve been & still am a HUGE TOOL fan! & was fortunate to see them many many times, going back to “91″ in little dives that only held maybe 700 to 1000 people! Tho back in 1996, i was totally anticipating the new release of “AENIMA! I had read in the local paper here in Detroit, that the first 100 people to purchase the “AENIMA” CD~ at “BESTBUY” would receive a collectors edition, of a 78 RPM VINYL RECORD! needless to say…..i was the 1st one in the store! I bought the CD of “AENIMA” & Received the colloctors, 78 RPM vinyl album!!
Side A has “STINKFIST & “OPIATE” & side B has “SOBER & PRISON SEX” …It is a “Pictured Album with images of two humanoid heads, connected at the neck & the both are holding some sort of “Dagger” in their teeth!! Side A, the picture is a little different, tho not by much….. The two figures are reaching up w/their hands! It has never been opened or played & is in the original clear, thick, plastic sleeve! I have no idea how much this is worth? It doenst sound like any of the vinyl albums described in all the above albums!
Does anyone have any idea? or own this collectable vinyl? & how much it could possibly be worth?….to the right buyer? I havent seen this 78 RPM Vinyl LP, anywhere on “E-Bay” or any other site?
My E-Mail addy is. (analog3kid@hotmail.com)

you hit the nail on the head there rantonio, stefmeister you are a tool, if you dont think there that great why are you whinging about it on a site for real tool fans trying to weed the bootlegers out and give people a heads up on what not to buy and who not to buy it off! obviously your in it to make money, where as a real fan is in it for the music

Ok…so i have a pressing of this album that is not a boot…I actually had two of them at one time….one had a different bar code than the other and also on the spine one had the words tool written larger than the other. One had “Volcano/Zoo/BMG listed in the credits at the bottom of the back side of the cover…and the other only had BMG/ZOO. Both had the pic sleeves. One has more prominent patterns/markings on the labels….the other one did not. I sold one of them not too long ago but I’m wondering if anyone else has seen two different original pressings. I know for sure neither of these were the recent bootlegs…but I’m thinking Zoo/BMG/Volcano released different ones back in 96 -98 when they were fighting over copy rights. If you do some research on ebay and also on popsike you will find both of these….I just dont know which one came first? The one I still have must be a promo because it has a saw cut in the sleeve…any info you folks out there might have would be great!

thanks!

stefmeister, you are, for lack of a better word, a tool. You expect a band to keep creating Vinyl for a CD that’s been out almost 10 years? You say they are not that great, yet you are looking for LIMITED EDITION vinyl from Tool. And you think it’s their fault. Everyone can enjoy their music…it’s not like they stopped selling the CD. Go away.

Hi Hefty, you are welcome to try selling the item on the marketplace….your comments might get more attention there….although you need an eBay account. Cheers.

I got an original copy of Aenima on vinyl that has never been opened. This is not a bootleg, it is an original release, still in the plastic with the promo stickers still on it. Seems like it’s a collectors item…. I live in Denmark but could send it if someone is really keen.

That’s just f*cking ridiculous! I was looking for lateralus on vinyl the other day only to realise it’s out of print. What a bunch of arrogant tools this band is? Collectors items my ass. Get the stuff in print that people can enjoy the damn music and not your bullshit arrogance. Tool is really NOT THAT GREAT. I’m a fan, but really…not the best musicians!

Fuck that asshole trying to charge $1,000 for this LP. Yes, a mint copy would be astounding but no one will buy this for $1000. The End.

Ok, here’s something I have never seen or heard of before. And I’ve been collecting Tool on vinyl for a while!

Could you tell us all if this is legit, or just a cash grab by a greedy so and so? I have never heard of Classic Records (a reputable company by the way), preparing a vinyl remaster of Aenima.

Here’s the link to the mob trying to sell it:

Note the ridiculous price! Which I would actually pay if this can be confirmed as a legit test pressing.

Thanks
