As we wait for Wu-Tang Clan's new album, A Better Tomorrow, apparently we will be getting another Wu record soon, however, the delivery of it will be far different than one could imagine. The hip-hop icons will release Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, and only one physical copy of the record will be made. According to RZA in an interview with Forbes magazine, the album will make a tour in museums, art galleries, and festivals and patrons will be charged a fee to listen to the record on headphones provided by the venue in which the record is being played. The production of the record stems back as far as 1997 and the LP has been being made in secret since then, it will also feature all of the original members of the Wu. No word as to when it will be released, but RZA said to Forbes, "We’re making a single-sale collector’s item. This is like somebody having the scepter of an Egyptian king." After the tour is over, the group will make the album available for purchase for a price "in the millions."
