Secretly recorded over six years and released as a single, ultra-exclusive edition that sold at auction for US$2 million in 2015, the Wu-Tang Clan’s Once Upon a Time in Shaolin is a deliberate rebuttal to the disposable nature of music streaming and the widespread nature of music piracy.
The ultra-rare album – only one copy of it was ever pressed, after which the master files of the recording were deleted – is a two-CD set housed in an ornate silver box.
