ZTT / ZTAS 25

1. "Warriors of the Wasteland" - 5:01
2. "Warriors (Of the Wasteland)" - 3:55

12"

ZTT / 12 ZTAS 25

1. "Warriors" (Twelve Wild Disciples Mix) - 9:45
2. "Warriors" (instrumental) - 4:50
3. "Warriors" (return) - 1:22
4. "Warriors" (end) - 3:29

• As with many ZTT releases, unlisted tracks have created confusion as to which track has which title. "Warriors" (return) can be taken to be the full 6:12 instrumental track, or just the 1:22 reprise.
• "Warriors" (end) began life as an unreleased track called "Pocket Vibrator".
• On the sleeve notes to this release, producer Trevor Horn noted: "On Liverpool the members of Frankie Goes to Hollywood played Warriors with their own notoriously fair hands ... This so-called 12" is in fact a total cheat ... No-one played anything, in any orthodox sense. It was all done by computers, very powerful computers ... juggling and organising pre-recorded sounds."

• "Introduction" starts with various vocal sounds, then sped-up samples re-edited, then slowed down samples, moving into what sounds like the Return Mix and some re-edited instrumental bits.
• "Twelve Wild Disciples" is the first 12" mix - a reconstructed version with additional keyboards.

• As with the CD single, no individual tracks are listed on the sleeve, which simply states "... featuring Warriors (twelve wild disciples mix) and a phenomenon of megabytes". The latter could be taken to be an unidentified track, or a description of the production process.
• The opening voiceover and the instrumental version of the Twelve Wild Disciples mix were unique to this cassette, until CTIS25 was finally released on CD in 2011 as part of the Liverpool deluxe edition.
