Recorded initially during the Puk sessions, 'Policy' went through many changes before being almost completely re-recorded at The Church. "Usually this would signify problems with a song although in this case we knew it was a strong track, not least a potential single. The main riff of the song proved such a problem to get a sound for and we must have tried 100 different variations before settling on what had become perhaps the sound of the album - slide guitar." Different slide guitar sounds punctuate 'Violator' regularly. In particular on tracks like 'Clean' (pedal steel played by Nils Tuxen), 'Sweetest Perfection' and 'Personal Jesus'. Anton's promo was shot in New York and along with another 'Violator' song 'Waiting For The Night', 'Policy' eventually featured on the soundtrack to the film 'The Confessional'.
