He may be ranked 9th in the UAA assassins' competition, but Dr. Peace is the first of the No More Heroes cast to release his own single. An 8cm (3") mini-CD single of "The Virgin Child Makes her wish without feeling anything" will be available from Grasshopper Manufacture's website on June 25.The disc will contain four versions of Dr. Peace's signature tune: the "normal" version, sax and trumpet versions, and a (presumably) instrumental karaoke version.

Also, scratches can cripple a disc, but the worst that ever happened with most of our original NES games was that we had to blow 'em out every now and then. It was a simpler time.
Update: screens!
