You Know That One-of-a-Kind Album Released by Wu-Tang Clan? Someone Just Offered $5 Million for It

April 2, 2014 Alan Cross 2 Comments

You may have heard about how Wu-Tang Clan recorded an entire album in secret and then announced that they would release just one (that’s ONE) copy. It got them some good press–and it created an interesting conversation about how artists should be compensated for their work along with the value of art.

Offers have been coming in from all over the world to purchase this record. As I write this, the highest bid is $5 million. Billboard is following the story.
