Release
edit"Terror Couple Kill Colonel" reached No. 5 in the UK Independent Singles Chart.[2]
The title came from a newspaper headline reporting a Red Army Faction attack that killed Paul Bloomquist.[3]
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.
