As you may have heard, The Wu-Tang Clan recorded a 31-track album titled "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin" that will have only have a single copy made. It will tour the country, allowing fans to hear it (after being checked for recording devices). After the tour, one lucky (and rich) fan will then buy the only copy and its masters. With rumored bids already hitting millions of dollars, there has been a lot of discussion about whether it's right to release it like this. (Read More)
