TOOL genuine sealed 72826 Promo/Demo Extremely Rare Cassette Tape Mint Condition

Description: Extremely rare and pretty uncommon genuine 72826 promo/demo 4 track cassette tape being in fact 1st officially band released material and containing never before and later officially published tracks. True holly grail for Tool fans and collectors almost impossible to get nowadays in this condition. Still sealed and in absolutely mint condition. Tool's first official 4 Track Demo was manufactured at Richman Brothers pressing plant in New Jersey Zoo Entertainment/BMG ordered 1500 of these cassettes. 50 box's , 30 Tapes per box and 2 rows of 15.These were given away and sold at gigs and on their snail mail merchandise order forms.When the label were getting these made, Richman brothers asked for a Catalog # for the Demo like most albums.This is where Maynard thought of 72826 of and was given to the pressing plant unknown to them at the time that 72826 comes from the word SATAN spelled on a landline telephone keypad.(The above statement is confirmed in the 2016 M. J. Keenan biography "A perfect union of contrary things" (Backbeat Books) p. 160. Further more the biography notes a selling price of 6$ for the cassette.)Some counterfeits are kicking around and there is a distinctive way to distinguish the real one's from the fake.In the genuine copies on the cassette body itself the top middle should say MADE IN U.S.A. from the side B.It's hard to see from side A because it is moulded on the inside of the plastic case.Also cassette sprockets should be black and the some spacing should exist over and under printed TOOL band logo.© 1991 Toolshed Music.
