Vinyl 12": Roots Manuva x The Beatles: Yellow Submarine - The Completest Edition

The 2nd in the BADMEANINGOOD series came from the one and only Roots Manuva: unarguably one of the most influential figures in UK Hip-Hop. Recorded as an exclusive for the album, and available as an edition of 5 NFTs (each complete with deadstock, unplayed vinyl) is his dubbed-out cover of The Beatles ‘Yellow Submarine’ - which is a serious collectors item in its own right. Raised in Stockwell by Jamaican parents, his father was a preacher and a tailor - and Roots Manuva’s music, undoubtedly a precursor to Grime, still fits the music it inspired like a bespoke suit.

For the rear of the album artwork, Banksy produced a portrait of him featuring a radio aerial sprouting from his left ear - for the cover Banksy’s theme of subversion continues by removing a tank’s weaponry and replacing it with a natty bow tie. As with all BADMEANiNGOOD albums, the artwork is what major auction houses term ‘signature Banksy’ - nuff said, buff ting!

Buyer will receive an original near-mint 12" Vinyl of 'Roots Manuva X The Beatles - Yellow Submarine' via fully tracked and insured international shipping. In this condition, these records fetch upwards of $735 on vinyl exchanges. This special 'completest edition' will also come with an O.G sticker and second edition 50x70cm Roots Manuva poster stamped and signed by series creator and copyright owner Austin Wilde.

Both Wilde and MakersPlace will donate 10% of their sales proceeds to MOAS Ukraine, a humanitarian organization that brings medical aid and assistance to the conflict-affected civilians of Ukraine.
