Incl. taxes (plus applicable )
Release date: 31 July 2026
180g ‘EcoSonic’ vinyl, randomly mixed in red, white and blue, in a full-colour sleeve with additional screen printing
Discover Boots on the Ground, a powerful collaboration between Massive Attack and Tom Waits – now available as an exclusive vinyl release for your collection.
The A-side features Massive Attack’s signature atmospheric sound, while the vinyl-exclusive B-side “The Fly” by Tom Waits delivers a dry, darkly humorous spoken-word piece – raw, sharp, and unmistakably unique.
Accompanying the release is a striking visual project: a film created by Massive Attack in collaboration with US photographer thefinaleye. The intense montage captures a defining moment in recent American history, shaped by protest movements, political tension, and social upheaval.
