This is the "original version" of "Defender", released only as a single in 1983, It was recorded during the "Into Glory Ride" sessions, but it wasn't included in the album due to time constraints of the vinyl.
Narration was made by American actor Orson Welles (already recorded with the band before on "Battle Hymns")
B/W (backed with) "Gloves Of Metal" (in the original issue) and "Hatred" (in the remastered reissue), both taken from the 1983 album "Into Glory Ride"
This original version cannot be found on any album or compilation, because the 1987 version was used instead.
