Okay, here are some more rare and collectible Tool LPs and Picture Disks that have been in storage for many years - in fact since they were first released or rereleased. I thought I'd hold on to these, but after the last auctions and feedback it was fun and gratifying to see these rare pressings go to serious Tool vinyl collectors - instead of sitting in storage. So instead of waiting I thought I'd let the collectors who nearly won last time to have another chance.  These are absolutely comparable in condition to the last winning auctions, with some very subtle differences in condition. None of these are in better condition than the last.  There are no repeat photographs from before and I will accurately describe their conditions - though I will repeat some general verbage from the last auction.  
All of this vinyl was originally sourced from the label at the time of the release or rerelease. As you will see some of the sleeves are either notched or BB holed as these copies were designated as internal record company promos to be given away.  None of this vinyl has ever been played - so any wear that you see is due the way is it was originally handled/shipped or stored. 
TOOL AENIMA. I am aware that there are some questions and perhaps even a little debate over which is the true 1st pressing or which is an A  or B pressing - so to help you I have faithfully listed all of the important cover details and urge and encourage you to do your own research so you can make your own best and informed decision. Be aware that some well established collector websites offer contradictory information, so dig deep.  All of the important details are clearly shown in the auction photographs.  I will happily send you more pictures if you want see something not already shown.  I will not open the wrapping so please don't ask for any pictures of the inner sleeves or of the LPs themselves.  Also I apologize for my refection that may appear in some of the photographs - it is not part of the album art.
Up for auction. This is a rare SS BB Holed copy of Tool's 1996 2LP "Aenima."  This highly collectible album has the original and unopened factory sealed shrink wrap, that is in Near Mint condition - due to a BB Hole in the top right corner.  This album is factory sealed so I have not seen the contents but can vouch that it definitely contains 2 LPs in inner sleeves, as this is just visible through the shrink wrap.   This pressing is about 4 ounces heavier than the BMG pressing that I also have up for auction.

SLEEVE CONDITION -The shrink wrap is in NM condition as the there is a small BB Hole punch through the top right corner of the sleeve. The cardboard that was damaged by the hole punch has created a powdery residue in the area close to the hole punch. This is more evident on the reverse where the cardboard powder has migrated about 3.5" way from the hole. You can barely notice it on the front of the sleeve . Please refer to photographs.  There is also a line of tiny perforations that run up the middle of the front of the shrink wrap.  These tiny perforations are exactly alike and are evenly spaced exactly 1" apart.  These perforations were created during the packaging process and I have seen this on some other shrink wrapped Tool Vinyl I have possessed.   Some areas of these perforations have opened up to about 1/4" to 1/2" long slits as you can see in the photograph.   I would say that more than half of the perforations are intact .  Overall the shrink wrap is more wrinkled than normal - which is just the luck of the the packaging process.
I am cautious to accept returns due to the fragile nature of the item which I have listed in exact detail.  For any concerns or questions please ask questions and I will send more pictures and or add extra description.  I will package the item very carefully to ensure that it is not damaged during shipping.
I will add insurance to the shipment. Overseas must ship Priority Mail as I cannot insure 1st Class - I will pay for insurance.   Should you want to return the item then please package it very carefully and return it in the exact condition that you received it.
Thanks and Good Luck - again.
