OTHER NOTES
In 1986 The Edge embarked on a solo album, as he scored the movie Captive.  For the main theme of the movie he brought in Sinead O'Connor on vocals, and Larry Mullen on drums. At this point in time Sinead had worked with the group In Tua Nua, but in a writing / arranging of songs for them and had not participated in recording with them.  She had been performing live in Ireland but her first released recording effort was this single with the Edge.

The single featured the a mix called the 7" Version, as well as a second mix of the song "Heroine".  Upon close comparison there appears to be little difference between the version on the 7" single and that on the soundtrack album other than a few seconds of blank space at the end of the track.  The song isn't even labelled as a different mix on the 7" and instead labels it as "Theme from Captive" just like the soundtrack does.  On both sources it is listed as being remixed by Steve Lillywhite.  The second mix of "Heroine" adds a longer instrumental introduction, and fades out with Sinead's vocals still prominant instead of the instrumental ending found on the soundtrack.

Both the single and the soundtrack itself are now deleted and are no longer being pressed. The mix from the soundtrack album does appear on Sinead's So Far...The Best Of album, and also appears on various Celtic music compilations.
