OGT Tool RARE 72826 Demo Cassette Tape "The Sealed Twin" with Promo Photo Authentic. Original. Official. Still sealed with no rips.Promo Photo, too. Cassettes were still big back in the day. I typically got two, kept one sealed, and the other I'd play once while copying to a TDK SA-C90 blank (tape of choice back then). I call this Tool 72826 demo tape the "Sealed Twin" because back when they were first passed around for promotions, I did my usual routine, and kept this one sealed. Many years later, like over two decades later, I traded my opened tape to a friend for something entirely different, non-Tool related. He told me he then sold it on eBay for $1,000! I certainly did not believe him, but he showed me a screenshot of the eBay transaction. I felt like a useful idiot for having no clue they'd become so sought after. I don't know what to expect to get for this now, but it's better than the one I gave to my friend. I mean I got them the same originally, but that one had been opened and played once whereas my remaining "Sealed Twin" has of course never been played, it's still sealed. The other thing I can say is this tape came before Tool sold tapes to their fan-club mailing list. Well maybe all the tapes came from the same batch, and Tool simply sold off the remaining tapes later to their fan-club, but I got my tapes as part of a promotional event in LA a few years before Tool ever sold anything through their fan-club letters. Accepting PayPal payments. Mailing only to United States address. This is from a personal collection, not a store -- no refunds or returns. General Listing Footnotes:
If item described is sports cards or B-2 Stealth Bomber related, then it belonged to my dad who passed away a few years ago. All such items were willed to me, but don't consider me to be an expert on these items. I am guessing at opening bids, don't get mad at me if I don't know what I'm talking about. My dad was a physicist for Northrop from 1980 through mid-1990's, where he helped create the B-2 in Los Angeles SoCal area, a town called Pico Rivera. On weekends he ran a side business doing sports cards shows all over LA and San Diego. I still lived at home during that time, and helped him at the shows. But I was never an expert, I was mostly just a grunt hauling containers of cards to and from the booths. Whenever I covered for him during breaks at shows, I was strictly forbidden from selling
high ticket cards because he didn't trust me to get a good deal. Now here I am selling all his good stuff, go figure. If this is physics or B-2 related, don't even ask, I have no idea about its backstory; he didn't even tell us his work was for the B-2 until about a year before its first-flight, sometime around 1989. If item is music related, especially Tool, Rage Against The Machine (RATM) or Soundgarden, then it's my own, and I should be able to answer any question about it. I was actively involved in all types of promotions, record stores, radio stations, and concerts in the LA area from late 80's through much of 1990's. I haven't followed most bands too closely after year 2000'ish, but back in the early-mid 90's I saved a lot of those promotional items that came through our work. Although I later moved to San Diego, and ultimately Portland, Oregon, everything has been carefully kept in smoke-free (cigarette-free anyway) environment.
Check to see if I have other listings you might want. I'm moving to Hawaii soon, the rainy side, and have been told "you can't have nice things" because apparently everything gets mildew and even mold all over it. I'd rather have someone else take care of my cool things instead of seeing them get ruined. If you get some, please treat them with the respect and care they deserve. Unless otherwise stated, everything is original, authentic items from the artists or their PR people, and mostly I've been the only owner.
