Trivia

Kill Me (Ce Soir) was covered by Iron Maiden as a B side on their 1990 single "Holy Smoke"

On the Dutch pressing, MCA-2139, that was marketed in Europe, the Side 2 label has the song lists double printed. A slight offset is very noticeable. It is unknown how many of these 'double prints' were sold before the manufacturer caught the error.

gollark: I'd actually expect OC to be a bit more vulnerable to that now since it uses native Lua instead of Cobalt's Java implementation.
gollark: Sandbox?
gollark: Ah yes, ye olden times.
gollark: Modern CC: Tweaked?
gollark: Same for CC as far as I know. At least modern CC.
