Massive Attack - Boots on the Ground (Limited Edition, Random Colored Vinyl, Red, White or Blue) (12" Single) [Vinyl]

Come's in one of three random colors - Red, White or Blue. Massive Attack and Tom Waits release a new collaboration "Boots on the Ground", with an exclusive to vinyl B-side provided by Waits - a droll and sardonic spoken word piece entitled "The Fly". An accompanying evocative, high-intensity montage film created by Massive Attack portrays a momentous American epoch that is yet to be named, and comes in the aftermath of the largest public protests in American history - focused on opposition to ICE raids, the militarization of domestic forces, and state authoritarianism. "One day many years ago I accepted an invitation from Massive Attack to collaborate," Tom Waits explains. "Today, as in all of mankind's yesterdays, guarantees this song will never go out of style. Man's fiasco folly is a feast for the flies. Hence, the B-side of Massive Attack's upcoming 12 inch "The Fly" features my appreciation for the winged nuisance." In keeping with the band's sector leading efforts to reduce carbon emissions across both live activity and recorded output, Massive Attack have partnered with Good Neighbor to produce an 'EcoSonic' pressing. Manufactured using 100% recycled PET (rPET) rather than traditional PVC, the record is fully recyclable and produced via an energy-efficient injection moulding process - a significant shift in record manufacturing. Packaging follows the same approach, with sleeves made from 100% recycled, FSC®-certified paper stock and outer slipcases produced from recycled polyethylene.
