72826

72826 is a demo tape by American rock band Tool. It was released in 1991 in very limited quantities of 1500. Originally passed out at gigs and for sale through the mail for a fee of $5. Tool were rumoured to have pressed these themselves. However, they were actually made in New Jersey by a company called Richman Brothers. It is also referred to by the name Toolshed, or Tool.
There has been some speculations made about the name, some noting that '72826' spells 'Satan' on a telephone keypad. In fact when this demo cassette was made, Tool did not have '72826' in mind. Only when they hired Richman Brothers they were told they needed a label number for warehousing purposes. Maynard James Keenan had the idea to use '72826' because he knew it spelled 'SATAN' on a telephone keypad.
