MASSIVE ATTACK and TOM WAITS release a new collaboration ‘Boots on The Ground’ on Play It Again Sam, that has been released with an exclusive to vinyl B-side from WAITS entitled ‘The Fly’.
TOM WAITS had this to say, “One day many years ago I accepted an invitation from Massive Attack to collaborate. Way back then, we sent them ‘Boots on the Ground’.
“Their long release delay never worried me. 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.”
