dobyblue Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Pretty sure a high resolution download will also be available on that date, given that's likely the master for everything else I will just purchase that and be done with it. Also, I gave up quite quickly on 10,000 Days when it came out...rediscovering it this week via the new 24/96 remaster and I'm so much more into it now than I was back then. I really like the mix and the production also, sounds fantastic on my main HiFi. Edited August 16, 2019 by dobyblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it affects me but I'm curious to know what is up with the international pricing on this. It seems to be under $40 in the US at a lot of places. But UK shops like Amazon and Rough Trade are charging right around $100 US for it which makes me think that $120 in Australia may just be retail cost.

I managed to snag a copy for $55 shipped to the UK, current ETA 11-13 September. The pricing model doesn't make a lot of sense, like @fish said.

Plarocks Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I am going to wait for the picture disc vinyl, with the working HD screen in the middle. Will sound like garbage, but will look SO COOL spinning on my table! 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumbo72203 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 has Tool officially ever said why they don't like vinyl? I will buy the fuck out of a regular CD for this, as Lateralus is one of my prized CDs and vinyl as well. However, it's just so weird that they refuse to do normal vinyl.

Plarocks Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) There WAS going to be a nice Classic Records 200 gram re-issue of Ænima right around 2000, but the company went out of business. 😣 Some test pressings were made: https://www.discogs.com/Tool-Ænima/release/4849890 Edited August 20, 2019 by Plarocks ejc625 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kept it sealed and never listened. It was originally listed as only 20 existed, but I've seen these come up too frequently and made me suspicious.

dobyblue Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Classic didn't go out of business until @ 2010, they did the Peter Gabriel catalogue on 200g single-sided 45rpm Clarity Vinyl in 2009. The reissue of AEnima just fell through, so probably someone from the label pulled the plug on it. The original vinyl of AEnima was prepared by Classic for Zoo (according to Discogs info on the Classic 200g test pressing) and was pressed at RTI so if you have an original, there's no sonic reason I'm aware of to seek out a Test Pressing. The TPs of the 200g will sound good because it appears Classic had quite a number of them done vs. the standard 5-10 copies for QC you'd typically see, but Classic did that a lot. Their TPs are legit, but certainly not limited to 10. faaip de oiad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own both the classic record test and the 1st press and the classic records test press sounds better and is worth the extra money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cut from the same lacquers so we know it's not possible to have a different mix or master and thus will not have different dynamics, likely the differences are either placebo effect or the original copy just happens to be a bad individual record which happens occasionally; for the VAST majority of people, they will be identical.

Saxonjulin Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) I can’t speak for a Mint 1st press so I can’t say weather it is quieter but the vinyl is for sure thicker and anyone who has pressings from classic records knows how good they sound. It’s more dynamic for sure but not overwhelmingly. To me it’s worth the money and is the most dynamic way to listen to Aenima Edited August 20, 2019 by Saxonjulin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it’s worth the money and is the most dynamic way to listen to Aenima Weight has nothing to do with sound, but there was only one master done by Bob Ludwig for all media so it literally cannot be "more dynamic" than any other version. Classic Records also prepared the inital pressing for Zoo, which is likely why it was also done at RTI (same as the 200g TPs) Original 180g test from RTI -https://www.discogs.com/Tool-Ænima/release/7763661 Shelby and holyvacantsholyhell 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
