TOOL’s debut release, 1992’s *Opiate* EP, made its *Billboard* chart premiere, arrived at #59. The band also broke records that week: taking four of the top five spots on *Billboard*’s Hard Rock Albums chart (the first act to achieve that feat upon digital release) and claiming 15 (of 25) spots on *Billboard*’s Rock Digital Song Sales chart. The title track arrived as details surrounding the collection surfaced, including a limited-edition CD version of *Fear Inoculum.* The collectible offering, which was conceived by and directed by Adam Jones, features a 4” HD rechargeable screen with exclusive video footage, charging cable, 2 watt speaker, a 36-page booklet and a digital download card. A list of retailers who have remaining stock of the groundbreaking package can be found here: [http://smarturl.it/TOOLFIa](http://smarturl.it/TOOLFIa%22%20%5Ct%20%22_blank). A vinyl release will be announced soon. TOOL formed in 1990, releasing four multi-platinum studio albums: *Undertow* (1993), *Ænima* (1996), *Lateralus* (2001) and *10,000 Days* (2006); two EPs: *72826* (1991) and *Opiate* (1992) and the limited-edition boxset *Salival* (2000).
