According to BBC, only a single copy of this record is currently in existence and has a clause that this album cannot be released for the public until the year 2103. The record is currently available at Tasmania’s Museum of Old and New Art and has been featured at the top of lead curator Jarrad Rawlins’ wish list. According to Rawlins’, acquiring this album just started off as a fantasy, and now fans from all across the world are flocking to the museum to hear a 36-minute sample of the entire album, that reportedly carries 31 tracks.
However, experts are of the opinion that the heightened excitement around this album may die down once more and more people hear it as the excitement of ‘not being able to hear it’, is a thrill in itself. Meanwhile, controversy has already begun around this rare album as the company loaning it is already in the process of suing its previous owner on the grounds of making digital copies, which can be seen as an attempt to defraud investors.
The Wu-Tang Clan is known for their unique take on hip-hop and for revolutionizing the genre in places like Staten Island, in the US. The hip-hop clan is responsible for its violent and sexually explicit lyrics, that have often been a point of controversy.
