Can someone tell me how you know if a Tool Aenima vinyl is original or bootleg?

I have a local store and about to pull the trigger. They say:
- 1996
- Zoo/BMG
- 72445 11087-1
- they have double green or double blue

Research says this is original as I found:
Zoo Entertainment ‎– 72445 11087 1, BMG ‎– 72445 11087 1
Format:
2 × Vinyl, LP, Album, Gatefold
Country:
US
Released:
17 Sep 1996

CAN ANYONE HELP?

    They were black vinyl only. Anything colored is a bootleg.

    cheers tempo. Just seeing BMG on the label I thought it couldn't be a bootleg

    If you are curious 10,000 days on vinyl is a boot too. They never released it on vinyl.

    I've never seen a bootleg that had pictures on the inner sleeves, just the generic plain white.

    I own an AEnima boot that has
    the picture sleeves. I dont have an original to compare it aganst but everything(besides the vinyl being coloredl) looks legit and sounds really good.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me

    My black sounds amazing and my amber vinyl sounds pretty good

    Here's an old Tool Vinyl website : http://toolvinyl.com

    This might help, if you're looking to buy Tool vinyl. I'm not sure how updated this website is.
