Massive Attack & Tom Waits - Boots on the Ground - VERY LIMITED COPIES

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 film, created by Massive Attack (working with US photo artist "thefinaleye"), accompanies the release. This evocative, high-intensity montage 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 militarisation of domestic forces, and state authoritarianism.
 
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.
