Wu-Tang Clan’s rare album Once Upon A Time In Shaolin is now available to purchase as an NFT –
Celebrating 10 years since the private release of the most expensive piece of music ever created, Wu-Tang’s Once Upon a Time in Shaolin is finally brought to the public by digital art collective Pleasr. Once Upon a Time in Shaolin was recorded in secret over six years and pressed on two CDs. The album has been digitized and encrypted and is available for sale for $1 at www.thealbum.com, with new artwork designed by Hassan Rahim. Each sale will bring the album’s release closer to the original date of October 8, 2103 and immediately unlock exclusive access to an album sampler created by the album’s co-producer, Cilvaringz.
In addition to being able to purchase this album as an NFT, this will also be its first public playback in Australia. Mxdwn.com, says this album will receive its first public playing at a listening event next month. The Australian Museum of Old and New Art is hosting a Namedropping exhibition. The exhibition will include a 30-minute excerpt from the album, the physical disc and contents housed in a silver box.
