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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“We may pretend that we’re basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.”
—Terry Hands (b. 1941)
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
