UPDATE: According to a new post on Reddit, the band have now lowered the price of the vinyl to $750 following backlash from fans.
Original Story:
Tool are apparently charging fans $810 for an autographed ultra deluxe vinyl edition of “Fear Inoculum” at their live shows. A number of fans broke the news online including one who shared a photo from the merch booth on Reddit. A press representative also confirmed the news to Loudwire, saying the actual price is $750 with additional charges for venue fees and tax.
Tool said the following about the set:
“There’s some late breaking news from the band. Having just received their personal allotment of the forthcoming (TBA) FEAR INOCULUM ULTRA DELUXE LP, they were inspired to offer for sale this very limited number of advance pressings to TOOLARMY VIP PACKAGE holders (taking advantage of their early merch access) beginning with tonight’s show in Philadelphia and extending to the remaining shows in Elmont, Newark, Buffalo, Pittsburgh and so forth, or until there are no more available (prior to the worldwide release that’s projected for sometime in April).
Furthermore, these early vinyl arrivals (only a tour item for the time being) have been AUTOGRAPHED, adding a personal touch to the cover imagery. The package contains 5 discs of industry best 180g vinyl, with audio tracks on one side and etched art on the reverse of each side of the disc.Though the quantities are very limited, should there be any remaining copies, they will be made available to concert goers at the general merch booth.”
