seafoamgreen Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 My Opiate has printed inners and all the rest of the first pressing stuff... but no parental advisory sticker. It was bought used in 2003 according to the price tag I left on the poly sleeve. I'm assuming some of these may have just had the sticker on the shrink instead of the sleeve itself? Or do I have a first pressing record/inners w/ a second pressing sleeve? Not a big deal, just came across this thread and got curious!

stranaspank Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Hey alyeska, you could sell those to me for $20 a piece and I'd pay it. KTHANKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I really appreciate finding this board. I’ve inherited vinyl collections over the years and am paring some stuff down. One of my buds was into Tool. Me, not so much. Accord to the post at the beginning of this thread, my buddy had/and now I have some collectible Tool. Opiate appears to be a 1st pressing (Printed inner sleeve, BLACK center labels.) Undertow appears to be the original 1993 promo w/out "Digustipated" on clear vinyl. I’m not sure about Ænima. It’s black vinyl with printed sleeves, but the center labels are really washed out. Would that make it the 2nd pressing? Could it be a boot? I would appreciate some help verifying these before I try to sell. (Trying to link to images for the first time in this forum, after some fussing, got 'em.) If it turns out to be a legit official press, I will pay you/trade you something for that Ænima. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.alyeska Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Topher, thanks for the welcome and the info. I was unclear at first about what you meant: bags/sleeves vs. double-side inserts. But I think I figured it out: they are definitely sleeves the records fit into. Aenima would appear to be a legit 2nd pressing, with very washed out center labels. I could barely make out the silver lines, until I knew what to look for (found it here!). I will be selling these albums, but don't want to clutter this useful thread with the hagglin'. Not sure if I'll go eBay or in the VC for sale board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aenimus Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Your Aenima copy, seems to be a legit B-pressing. In order to confirm it, check if track A4 ends in a locked runout groove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikizee Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Hi all, found this thread after googling about Tool vinyl. I have a sealed test pressing of Aenima, the 2nd press. It came with with back and front cover sleeve, and two white cardoboard sleeves that contain the pressings. Funnily enough the white cardboard sleeves don't fit inside the cover - they're too big. Here's some photos - the last photo is of the centre label of another test pressing I tracked down, as mine is still sealed. I purchased the pressing off ebay seller themusic24 in around 2004ish. s_r0d and My Big 12" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdz68 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I really should, shouldn't I. You won't know whats on it until you spin it! What if some sick and twisted bastard sold you a pressing of something else with the label just stuck on it.... Hmmmmmmm just sayin/.....

After the amount of research I did the odds are impossibly slim... I have come close to opening it a few times, normally when drunk. I've always stopped myself though. I should never ever be anywhere near my turntable when I'm drunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piky0032 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Sealed Test Press? Not something I would have I thought would happen....given they are sent to played and "tested".... How much are you after for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefoxUSSR Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Just stopped in to say someone upped the 10,000 days boot in flac on the Pirate Bay and it sounds way better than I would have guessed. I want to know how these are really sourced. I mean if there's some magic audio butter I can do... I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I can't find a definitive answer anywhere. Does anyone have ANY of the Lateralus boots? I have the pic discs, but would like to add a Lat boot to my collection. I'm wondering which one sounds the best. I don't understand how so many people have an issue with poor quality on the Lateralus pic discs. Did you guys clean the records using DISTILLED water? I bought mine about 6 years ago. Took it home, washed it in my Spin Clean and it has sounded fantastic ever since. The discs were not made like normal pic discs. The image is underneath a different material than the normal pic disc My Big 12" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Uh I think that's how all picture discs are made TheEnigmyst, dantheriver and jack8urt0n 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billich0986 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Sorry to resurrect this, but for those of you with the second press of Aenima (cat #72445 11087 1), does your copy have the matrix number on the bottom on the spine? Do copies exist without the matrix number at the bottom of the spine? I ask because the copy I'm looking to purchase passes every test, except that.

fish Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I've wondered the same thing before. The discogs listing for that version says that there is a "faint" and "hard to see" catalog number on the spine, but my copy doesn't have one at all and is different from the discogs pics that show the #. I bought my copy in either 96 or 97 new from Generation Records in NYC so I'm positive that it is a legit copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtraFox Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I've got the chance of getting my hands on a sealed first press of AEnima. Everything looks legit; the only thing is the shrink on the back looks odd to me. Picture below - is it age or a resealed item? Could the shrink have stuck to the sleeve? Or something else? Maybe it's just the way records were sealed 20+ years ago and everything's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 It looks like the wrap just loosened up on the back over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barberbro Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Bootleg...? No way TOOL wouldn't capitalize on a release like this. They would've made a sh*t ton of money on it through their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I really wish there was a non-picture disc version of Lateralus on black vinyl with the tracklist in tact from the CD version. It would have fit just fine in that order. I don't know why they felt they had to jigger it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have fit just fine in that order. I don't know why they felt they had to jigger it. It exists. I own a copy. Granted, it IS a boot. But yes its on black vinyl, original CD trackilist (direct copy from im sure), and a gatefold as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
