One-off Bob Dylan recording could sell for £1m
He hopes that future releases in the format will "help develop a music space in the fine arts", allowing artists to combat "the devaluing of our work by the commoditisation of the internet".
Peter Klarnet, Christie's senior specialist in Americana, says it was hard to calculate an estimate, as nothing of this nature has ever been sold before. The closest analogy is the Wu-Tang Clan album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, which was limited to a single CD copy in 2015. Announced in April, it consists of "lacquer painted onto an aluminium disc, with a spiral etched into it by music".
"So we started looking into what they use on the Space Station to shield it from the direct light of the sun," says Burnett. "And we've been able to coat the acetate with that, and it removes enough friction that the acetate doesn't degrade over thousands of plays." At the time of writing, the discs cannot be mass produced, meaning they are likely to remain collector's items and investment opportunities for now. But Burnett hopes they will be more widely adapted in the future.
