Track Info:
The standard issue 12" features an extended version of the track with samples lifted from the Dustin Hoffman film 'Little Big Man'. The 'Instrumental is a slightly edited instrumental of main 'Extended Mix'. However, 'USLS 1' is a non-album Eric Thongren mix; with less guitar. The track is also featured on the 7" & CD single.

The remix 12" features a specially commissioned dance remix by Dave Dorrell; along with an instrumental of the US 12" version. 'The Alamo' style guitar 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:
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...
