Release

"Terror Couple Kill Colonel" reached No. 5 in the UK Independent Singles Chart.[1]

The title came from a newspaper headline reporting a Red Army Faction attack that killed Paul Bloomquist.[2]

Original sleeves were printed on a textured fabric. Two versions of this record exist; each having a different recording of "Terror Couple Kill Colonel (Version)" on the B-side. The rarer (mispressing) is noted by the matrix "TA1PE AD 7 AA1" in the run-out groove.

gollark: Yes, it's Turing-complete*, but that doesn't mean I want to write```cint32_t_iterator_of_some_kind thing = make_iterator();while (int32_t x = get_element(thing)) { // do thing with x}free_iterator(thing)```* not actually Turing-complete, due to weird spec quirks
gollark: It isn't. Its type system CANNOT correctly express generics, which you need for good iterators. Its insufficiently good memory management mechanisms would require manually freeing and allocing them, which is no. Its lack of good metaprogramming capabilities (the macros are not sufficient) means I couldn't make iterators which were actually *nice to use*.
gollark: No.
gollark: No. I don't know what GA is.
gollark: Hyperbolic geometry (not bees).
