"Number 25 in the Action Series." Sleeve notes: This twelve wild disciples version of WARRIORS is, of course, a re-mix of the track that opens the Frankie album 'Liverpool'. The question is now begged – what is a re-mix? 'It used to be a change of clothes, now it's a dream come true.' There is one answer. On 'Liverpool' the members of Frankie Goes To Hollywood played WARRIORS with their own notoriously fair hands: touching their instruments, squeezing, banging, urging, making noises which were recorded by microphones onto a tape recorder. This 'so-called' 12", this marketing invention, this golden gate to possibilities is in fact a total cheat. What is a re-mix? 'A total cheat.' There is another answer. No-one played anything, in any orthodox sense. It was all done by computers, very powerful computers (38 megabytes R.A.M. 600 megabytes hard disk storage) juggling and organising pre-recorded sounds. We all had a hand in it – that is, myself, Steve, Andy Richards the keyboard player, the lads, Holly and Paul. We all peered over the computer operators shoulder at the little screen, to see what the hell was going on, willing the circuits to do their uncanny business. From the little screen lept twelve wild disciples, with their gifts for the listener. What is a re-mix? 'A gift.' – when it's Frankie, and Frankie only. And this 12" is Frankie. Only.
