Issued in a gatefold sleeve with hype sticker on shrink wrap.
This is the first official vinyl release of unknown quantity. There is a secondary version following: Tool (2) – Lateralus
Both are nearly identical in packaging, except the first issue has a duller holographic sheen. The discs differ in the following manner:
The runout information is different. This edition does not have an etched “CB” signature.
The centre areas (where centre labels would normally be) have a “handmade” look to the markings where on the other edition they contain numerous concentric circles.
250-300 copies were hand-signed by all four band members and sold through the band’s website.
