New Wu-Tang Clan Album Will Go Unreleased Until 2103

Wu Tang Clan

*Wu-Tang Clan’s new album “Once Upon A Time In Shaolin” will remain largely unheard for the next 88 years because of a copyright clause in its conditions of sale.

As previously reported, he rap group is releasing just one copy of the double album, which took five years to record. Fans were hoping the lucky owner would release the tracks to a wider audience.

However, it has now been reported that a clause in the conditions of sale will ban the owner of the album from releasing it publicly for 88 years.

In a statement online, group member RZA writes: “When you buy a painting or a sculpture, you’re buying that piece rather than the right to replicate it. Owning a Picasso doesn’t mean you can sell prints or reproductions, but that you’re the sole owner of a unique original. And that’s what Once Upon a Time in Shaolin is. It’s a unique original rather than a master copy of an album.”

But there’s a loophole… The owner of the album could just as easily take the record on tour, or place it in a central location for people to visit and hear.

The record will be sold online by auction house Paddle8. It has previously been reported the band has already received an offer of $5 million.
