History
The Flaming Lips released a CD single entitled "This Here Giraffe" on the world's first ever star-shaped CD. It was in the shape of an 8-pointed star. Another shaped CD includes the North American release of the soundtrack to the Nintendo 64 game Yoshi's Story, named Music to Pound the Ground To, was shaped to outline the print on the disc, Yoshi's face and a few things (like fruit) in the background.
An additional example is the live EP Alive in Torment released by symphonic black metal band Dimmu Borgir. The disc is shaped like a skull.
