Originally released in 1971 Electric Warrior topped the UK album charts twice, from December 18th 1971 to January 29th 1972 and again from February 5th to February 19th 1972. The centrepiece of this re-issue is original producer Tony Visconti's re-master which is presented with four bonus tracks - the non-album single, "Hot Love" plus the B-sides "There Was A Time / Raw Ramp", "King Of The Mountain Cometh" and "Woodland Rock". The second disc in the Deluxe and Super-Deluxe editions contains an alternative version of the album comprised of previously unreleased demos and out-takes. The Limited Edition Super Deluxe Edition is housed in a lavish box set containing the two CDs plus a DVD of rare and unreleased TV performances and promos by the group. Tony Visconti's re-mastered version of the album will also be released on vinyl for the very first time.
