Tool "Aenima" Zoo/BMG Version 1996 2LPs Gatefold RARE

$

265

Super rare, original pressing of the masterpiece "Aenima" from prog/heavy metal band Tool.  This has been test played in its entirety.  There is some slight and very minor crackling at times, but not throughout.  Visual inspection notes surface marks on all sides, but not affecting the enjoyability of the album.  VG is probably conservative, but there are surface lines and marks and I want to make sure that this is understood.
The cover is nicely in tact with no splits on seams.  Corners are worn and there is some wear on the black portion of the cover. Inside the gatefold there are some creases in the center.  The original inner sleeves are in very nice shape. 

This does have all of the attributes of the original pressing.  The somewhat faint labels, and back cover barcode and label names in small letters. See pictures for all of this information.
