Mezzanine is the third studio album by English trip hop group Massive Attack, released on 20 April 1998 by Virgin Records.
It was the first album to be produced by Neil Davidge, along with the group. The entire album was provided on their website for legal download many months before the physical release was announced. It was one of the first major uses of the MP3 format by a commercial organisation.
The album is the band's most commercially successful to date. Upon release it went to the number one spot in the UK, Australian, Irish and New Zealand album charts.
Musically, Mezzanine is a major departure from the jazzy and laidback sound of the first two albums (Blue Lines and Protection), invoking the dark undercurrents which had always been present in the collective's music. The album's textured and deep tone relies heavily on abstract and ambient sounds, as demonstrated in the song "Angel" among others.
Similar to their previous albums, the majority of the songs consists of one or more samples, ranging from Isaac Hayes to Led Zeppelin. In 1998 Manfred Mann sued Massive Attack for unauthorised use of a sample of the song "Tribute" from Manfred Mann's Earth Band's eponymous 1972 album, used in "Black Milk". The song has subsequently appeared as "Black Melt" on later releases and at live performances, with the sample removed.
Mezzanine marked the parting of band member Andrew Vowles, due to creative conflicts. Horace Andy, a well-known reggae artist, also performed several spots on the album.

There are many options when it comes to shopping for vinyl records, and we want everyone to know why you
should shop with us.
PACKAGING
We try our best to secure each record that leaves our hands, to arrive in the same condition to its new owner. Each record is
wrapped tightly in A-fluted corrugated cardboard paper, which not only is more environmentally sound than bubble wrap,
but offers more padding and protection for your records. It helps the vinyl fit more snug in the mailer, allowing NO ROOM
for any shifting. Which in turn, helps prevent seam splits, bends and pushes. We reuse every box that comes through our
doors and put them to good use. We personally cut 1” corner pieces from the recycled boxes to reinforce the corners on
the outside of the record mailers. This is to assist in the protection of your vinyl in transit, as we know USPS isn’t widely
known for handling so delicately at all times. We ship records that are in open and resealable poly sleeves outside of the jacket
to prevent seam splits. If you purchase a sealed copy and would like us to open, and ship outside of the jacket, we will place
it in an open poly sleeve upon request. Please read some of our positive feedbacks on packaging to confirm our methods accuracy.
We find our customers happy with the care that is considered when wrapping their records, and they keep coming back for more!
SHIPPING
Our shipping is a flat rate $4.00/ media mail per 1 or 2xLP. Most 3LP and boxsets are calculated by weight and destination.
Each additional purchased is $1. We ship in standard record mailers which are all marked “FRAGILE” and “DO NOT BEND”.
If more than 2 LPs are purchased, we upgrade your package to a bigger box to accommodate the size and weight. If you wish
to receive your vinyl in a more timely manner, please contact us to setup for priority. For Priority shipping, it is calculated
by weight and destination, so prices vary.
For international shipping, cost is calculated to destination and packages are wrapped the same way, and then double boxed.
Depending on weight, under 4 pounds is sent USPS First Class/Priority International, over 4 pounds is USPS Priority International.
If you ever have questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We will get back to you within the 24 hours. We pride on doing
