Wu Tang Clan Enter The 36 Chambers

Created with the RZA.

Wu-Tang Clan’s classic debut album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), originally released in 1993, will be re-released as a unique 7″ edition.

Created in collaboration with RZA, the album is presented as a hardback “Casebook”, featuring the album’s twelve full songs, divided into six 7-inch records. There is also a bonus 7″ of ‘Protect Ya Neck (Bloody Version) / Tearz [aka After The Laughter Comes Tears’, which is the same A- and B-Side as the group’s original first self-released single. See photos in this gallery:

Housed in a premium leatherette outer slipcase, the pack features a 56-page in-depth liner notes book, with new RZA input and interviews, extensive research by journalist Chris Faraone, album lyrics, rarely-seen imagery from the Enter The Wu-Tang era. Also included is two handy Wu-Tang 45 adapters.

As RZA recalls to Chris Faraone in the liner notes book:

“[Considering] the trouble we were going through, being young black men in America trying to find our way, I definitely had the confidence that [making music] was the way out of it … When Loud announced that 36 Chambers went platinum, that right there was confirmation. I remember saying to myself that MC Hammer sold 10 million records, but that’s 10 million people who still sleep. If Wu-Tang sold a million, that’s a million people who woke up.”

The first 1,000 orders will begin shipping in early December exclusively via Get on Down. Find the tracklist below.
