This is the Second Pressing of this album (1996). I verified this though extensive research. I've copied much of that research here so you can see for yourself:
This is from https://www.reddit.com/r/ToolBand/comments/7noc2b/aenima_vinyl_3_official_pressings/
Version 1: https://www.discogs.com/Tool-%C3%86nima/release/1700716
Version 2: https://www.discogs.com/Tool-%C3%86nima/release/534940
Version 3: https://www.discogs.com/Tool-%C3%86nima/release/1769490
(Note: I own V1 myself, so I started out with that one. I have no indication which pressing is 1st, 2nd or 3rd)
-
There are three different official (US) pressings, all on black vinyl (and two official test pressings that I know of)
-
All official pressings have the same printed labels on the records, though labels on V2 are faint (not as clear as V1 & V3)
-
All official pressings have two printed innersleeves with artwork
-
All official pressings end in a locked groove (Side A, track 4). The sound it contains, also continues on the run-in groove of side B. (note: If you have a turntable that picks up the arm automatically at the end of a record, it will not catch the groove, only a manual turntable will)

(note: small differences on V2 and catalogue numbers on all three)
The sealing on at least one of the versions (don't know which one) should have a 'vertical or horizontal overlapping' on the back. I'd be cautious buying a sealed pressing without it. (though I'm not 100% sure about this info)
