Album Notes:
Released as a promotional item on 10" format - this is a promo for
Tool's releases as a whole (Opiate / Undertow / Ænima). This picture
disc was designed to be a promo-sampler for radio stations and record
stores to cover the span of Tool's releases (up to 1996). Oddly, many
stations and record stores do not have LP players but that is besides
the point. This is simply just a cool collector's item for the Tool fan.
I do not have information of the total number of these
manufactured/release but I assume it is around 5,000 like the other
picture discs. The artwork on the records are rather interesting; not
exactly sure what they are drawings of or really what they mean but it
is definitely worth a look. If this is something you are hoping to find,
eBay seems to be the only outlet that seems to have this up even once in
a while.
