A lot of the commercial value of art comes from the social signalling that says &quot;I can afford to own this unique and holy relic of personal productivity.&quot;<p>It&#x27;s the individualised capitalist equivalent of medieval churches competing with each other to buy fragments of the true cross - or some lesser holy knuckle bone, if they weren&#x27;t in that league.<p>The Wu Tang Clan album probably exists as a master tape&#x2F;file somewhere, and possibly also as session backup files, unless they deliberately destroyed everything.<p>Nice box though.
