Public Image Ltd. have released a live version of Warrior, recorded in July 1989 at The Ritz in New York, during the band's tour to support the 9 album.

Warrior is taken from the upcoming collection The Public Image Is Rotten (Songs From The Heart), which is released on July 20.

As well as the New York live set, the 5-CD/2-DVD box set will feature The PiL Singles Collection (1978-2015), B-sides, Rarities and Radio Sessions, 12" Mixes & Dance Tracks, and Unreleased Mixes and Tracks. Full track listing below

The DVD includes promo videos as well as footage from BBC programmes Top Of The Pops and Old Grey Whistle Test. There are also two live concert films, including the band's performance at the Tallinn Rock Summer Festival in Estonia in 1988, as well as a show from the Enmore Theatre in Australia, shot during 2013's This is PiL tour.

The release of The Public Image Is Rotten (Songs From The Heart) coincides with the launch of a career-spanning documentary of the same name, which will be released later this year in select cinemas.
