Some years ago (pre-EMI remasters), when asked in an interview why the
Warrior material wasn't included on the EMI Masters of the Universe comp,
the reply from Dave, I think, was that the album was 'out of contract'.  Not
sure quite what this meant, but if the band had signed a contract with
UA/Liberty for 5 albums that take take them up to Hall Of The Mountain
Grill.  It may be that Warrior was recorded under a separate contract?
Dunno, just speculating with that.
