Presenting Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) deluxe edition 7-inch casebook, brought to life by Get On Down Records, who also announced its first 1,000 orders to be shipped next month, early December.
The package features the Wu-Tang Clan's classic 1993 debut, complete with all twelve songs catalogued on six 7-inch vinyl records, and for the first time, housed inside a premium casebook created in collaboration with The RZA himself. The casebook is built with both sturdy and snazzy material, made manifest in the form of a premium leatherette outer slipcase, that definitely passes as a trophy-figure when resting on the top shelf.
As mentioned above, the interiors house six 7-inch vinyl records, as well as the inclusion of a bonus record, “Protect Ya Neck (Bloody Version) / Tearz (aka After the Laughing Comes Tears), housed in familiar A- and B-side format, but donning a rendition of the original Sony visual monochrome sleeve graphics.
Aside from this the package also includes two custom Wu-Tang Clan Logo 45 adapters, and Shaolinthology, a 56-page book listing new input from RZA, and select interviews, in-depth research from journalist Chris Faraone, album lyrics, as well as rare shots and images depicting the glorious Enter the Wu-Tang era.
You can find more details and information on the Get On Down webpage.
