An original 1996 pressing of Aenima by Tool on two 12” vinyl records.

This isn’t one of those crappy colored copies mastered from the CD audio that you see on Ebay. This was mastered from the original master tape. The cover isn’t in the best shape, but the records are flawless. A good indicator of an original is Useful Idiot ends side one in a locked runout groove that will repeat forever if you let it. The noise from Useful Idiot also starts side two leading into Forty-Six and 2. The colored bootleg vinyl feature Useful Idiot as a stand-alone track Also, the over all volume is much louder than on the colored vinyl bootleg copies.

I used to own a bootleg copy, but I sold it after I got this copy.

If you own one of the colored bootleg copies, I hope you didn’t pay too much for it.
