To Crack the Mysteries of a Unicorn Wu-Tang Album, FOIA FOIA Y’All

Exclusivity was the point of Wu-Tang Clan’s Once Upon a Time in Shaolin. Only one copy was produced. A few minutes of it were played — once — in public. It sold at auction, with the condition it would be heard only in private. The album may have remained shrouded in mystery, were it not for a pharma bro, a Justice Department seizure... and the power of the Freedom Of Information Act.

Thanks to Open Mike Eagle for reading this week’s Justice Department documents.
