Tool - Ænima

First pressing, this is the rare edition with the 6 1422-31087-1 1 barcode (shown)
I originally purchased this from Discogs where it's condition was advertised as "Very Good".
It is not mint, if it was then it would be worth £600+ easily. I've tried to be as honest as possible with the photographs so you can fully apprecite the condition and know what you're bidding on. There are some tatty edges on the outer sleeve.  There are also visible scratches on the vinyl, however I have listened to this many times played on a Pro-Ject Essential 2 turntable without noticing any sound issues. For those reasons, I agree with the "Very Good" description.

*Note that this first edition contains a locked groove on side A. This is intentional and present on all of these first pressings. I'm just making you aware because if, like me you were unaware then you might think there was something wrong with the album / your turntable!
This has to be one of my all-time favourite albums. These versions are getting difficult to come by and their value continues to rise. I really don't want to let this go but personal circumstances have forced me to sell. I'm just hoping that it goes to a fan!
Happy bidding, here's the bumf:
