Track Info:
The first version is an edited version of the album track. The 'extended mix' is also on the 12" single, and 'USLS 1' is a non-album Eric Thongren mix, with less guitar. The track is also featured on the 7" & CD single.

'The Alamo' style guitar on the 'Extended Mix' was recorded by engineer Robin Hancock.

NOT Trivia:
'USLS 1' was inspired by the fact John & Nora were booked onto the doomed PanAM 103 flight from Heathrow to New York that exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland in December 1988; killing nearly 300 people. John & Nora only missed the flight as they were running late... It would be several years after the tragedy before John revealed what might have been...

Trivia:
The 12" extended mix featured samples from the Dustin Hoffman film 'Little Big Man'.

Lu Edmonds, who had left the band by the recording of '9', receives a co-credit on both tracks, but does not play on them.

A promo video was shot for the single. Directed by Mick Haggerty.

Quotes:
'Warrior' came about from a chance meeting with Nellee Hooper, who suggested I worked with Dave Dorrell on a remix. It was just me trying to do something a bit different...
