Ghostface Killah Ironman is one of Wu Tang Clan's most revered albums and it's now available in a deluxe gold edition.
Re-packaged and distributed by Get On Down, the new CD boxset commemorates Ghostface Killah's 1996 debut album. Ghostface used Ironman to become one of Wu Tang's standout solo artists along with Raekwon and Method Man. Ironman is now considered a hip hop classic.
The Ironman Gold Edition features a 24k Audiophile gold disc inside a Cherrywood trophy box decorated with an Ironman plaque. Purchasers get a lot more than a gold CD though, as the commemorative set comes with a 48-page hard cover book and a 12" by 12" puzzle of the original album art work. There are only 2,000 copies available, which tells you this is intended to be a collector's item as opposed to a mass market product.
