Wu-Tang Clan: Rare album to go on display at Mona in Tasmania

Just a single copy of the Wu-Tang Clan album exists, and only a few ears have ever listened to it.

Recorded in New York City and produced in Marrakesh between 2006 and 2013, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin includes the nine surviving members of the group - and features pop artist Cher and Game of Thrones actress Carice Van Houten. A group of potential buyers and media heard a 13-minute section in 2015, and disgraced drug firm executive Martin Shkreli - who bought the album for $2m (£1.6m, A$3m) - streamed clips of the music on YouTube to celebrate Donald Trump's 2016 election victory. In a statement, Pleasr said the Mona listening parties - which will run between 15 and 24 June - helped realise the group's "bold vision to make a single copy album as a work of fine art".
