Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: As the album’s only copy is sold at auction, RZA says ‘the impact of this historical sale will echo through the ages’ 
  
 It has been billed as the world’s rarest album. Wu-Tang Clan have only ever produced one copy of their 2013 record Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, and have gone to great lengths to ensure that no duplicates exist.

 It’s a promotional tactic that seems to have paid off, at least in terms of sales. According to online auction house Paddle8, the album’s sole copy has been sold for an undisclosed figure in the “millions” to an American buyer. 
  
  
  
 The sale concludes an interesting experiment by the New York hip-hop group, in which they presented their record not as a consumable music product but as a singular work of art. Since it’s completion in 2013, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin was stored in a vault at the Royal Mansour hotel in Marrakech, Morocco. 
  
 “The Wu-Tang Clan have always been driven by innovation, and this marks another moment in musical history,” said the group’s founding member RZA. “We hope that the impact of this historical sale will echo through the ages and maybe remind us every now and then that music is a great art form that should be valued as such.”

 The album reportedly features contributions from all surviving members of Wu-Tang Clan and was recorded between 2006 and 2013. A collaboration with the MoMA PS1 art gallery saw them host a listening event, which a 13-minute medley of the tracks were played to an audience including art experts, rap fans and prospective buyers. According to Rolling Stone: “If the full, 128-minute Once Upon a Time in Shaolin... is as solid as the 13 minutes heard [at the playback], it could be the group’s most popular album since 1997.” 
  
 It was the only time the public were allowed to hear any of the record, and that is unlikely to change for a good while longer. As stipulated by terms of the sale, the buyer has agreed to not commercialise the content of the artwork to the public for a period of 88 years. ||||| In two separate pieces this week, FORBES broke the news that the Wu-Tang Clan had sold its secret album to an unknown bidder. Today, new details are beginning to emerge. 
  
 According to a release by Paddle8, the upstart auction house that sold the double-album, Once Upon A Time In Shaolin has been sold to a "private American collector" for a price "in the millions." The sale was agreed upon in May, but it took months to finalize contracts and legal protections for the unusual record. 
  
 “The Wu-Tang Clan have always been driven by innovation, and this marks another moment in musical history," said Wu-Tang cofounder RZA in the statement, adding that the group would donate a significant portion of the proceeds to charity. "From the beginning, we hoped that this concept would inspire debate and new ways of seeing creativity. Both of those goals have been achieved, and the ideas continue to evolve." 
  
 Though the precise amount of the sale has not been revealed, Paddle8 says it makes Once Upon A Time In Shaolin the most expensive single album ever sold, topping Jack White's $300,000 purchase of a rare acetate recording of Elvis Presley's first song. 
  
 "We pioneered a new type of intellectual property regarding the sale of a work that is simultaneously physical and digital, creating previously unexplored legal protections for a unique work that cannot be reproduced," added Paddle8 cofounder Alexander Gilkes. "This marks an exciting new model of distribution for the music world and we look forward to playing an ongoing role in this innovative model." 
  
 As the album's producer, Tarik "Cilvaringz" Azzougarh, explained when FORBES first revealed the album's existence nearly two years ago: "The essence and core of our ideas is to inspire creation and originality and debate, and save the music album from dying.” 
  
 Once Upon A Time In Shaolin will remain hidden from the public ear for the foreseeable future, but Wu-Tang fans can still get a taste of the album through the 51-second snippet FORBES obtained while interviewing Azzougarh in his hometown of Marrakech, Morocco--and through the mini-documentary we produced below.

Student:
Wu-Tang Clan just sold what they're calling the rarest album ever created: Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, just a single copy of which exists. The record, which took from 2006 to 2013 to make and features contributions from every surviving member of the group, has been stored in a vault in Morocco for most of the time since it was completed. Now, Paddle8 auction house says an American buyer purchased the sole copy for "millions," though no further details about the sum were given, the Guardian reports. Forbes notes that the price was agreed to back in May, but the announcement wasn't made until this week because contracts and legal agreements were being sorted out. "We hope that the impact of this historical sale will echo through the ages and maybe remind us every now and then that music is a great art form that should be valued as such," says Wu-Tang founding member RZA, who says a significant portion of the proceeds will go to charity. Before its sale, the MoMA PS1 art gallery hosted a listening event at which an audience heard a 13-minute medley of the album's tracks, the only time the public heard any of the 128-minute record. The terms of the sale dictate that the buyer not make the album public for at least 88 years. Prior to this, the priciest single record ever sold was a rare acetate recording of Elvis Presley's first song, which Jack White bought for $300,000.
