AUTOGRAPHED LATERALUS VINYL UPDATE/RUMOR CONTROL
Contrary to what you may have read in a chatroom or heard through the rumor mill, the LIMITED EDITION COPIES OF LATERALUS AUTOGRAPHED BY THE BAND MEMBERS which will be available EXCLUSIVELY to members of the Tool Collective (TA) have NOT yet been posted for sale in the shopping bazaar on the site. As I've already said, as soon as I get more details about these, I will give a big heads up so that those members who want to purchase a copy will have a chance to get one.

LATERALUS VINYL PRE-SALE ORDERS
A number of copies of LATERALUS vinyl will be available in the store* of the TOOL WEBSITES (both Toolband and the Tool Collective) beginning MONDAY, August 1 (PST). The maximum number of copies for each person ordering is four albums and payment must be made by electronic means (unfortunately, NO mail orders). Although I don't yet have the specifics about the autographed vinyl copies, a LIMITED NUMBER will be made available EXCLUSIVELY for members of the Tool Collective (TA). As soon as I receive this information (price, limitation, etc.) it will be posted on the site.
* Those who order copies of Lateralus vinyl online (i.e. from the Tool 'store') will NOT have to wait the standard 6-8 weeks; shipping will be RUSHED so that you will get your hands on this vinyl well before the release date in the stores.

LATERALUS VINYL INFORMATION
I've a bit of an update on the Lateralus vinyl. As it now stands, the release date is still slated for AUGUST 23rd. However, the plan is to make a certain number of pre-sale copies available exclusively on the Tool websites. Unfortunately, the exact date hasn't yet been determined, although I hope to be able to post this soon. In addition, there will be a very LIMITED EDITION of copies that are autographed by the band members. As I understand it, this will involve a special process so that the signatures (each record being individually signed) will be on the record, itself, as opposed to the album jacket. I would imagine that these limited edition holographic copies will cost more, but I don't yet have information about the exact price or number of copies that will be made available on the site. As soon as these details are worked out, I will let you know.
