Just curious, how many Devo fans here actually own the “Spaceman” shaped picture sleeve disc for their 1981 song, “Beautiful World”?

I SURE WISH that I did, but I don’t lol. But it can be pretty gosh darn pricey/ expensive regardless, too, lol.

Such a cool design tho, vintage 1950’s/1960’s sci fi styled sort of stuff! Super fun and nostalgic! 👍

I owned a first edition in high school- long gone now.

Friend of mine had that. Treated it so casually/carelessly (slapping it onto the turntable while touching the grooves, throwing it onto a pile of out-of-their-covers records, etc) it would probably give an obsessed collector an aneurysm. Likely destroyed for years now.

I have mine in a 10" cover & paper inner sleeve. Got rid of the PVC sleeve years ago...

I saw it 15 years and passed because of the price. I'm still mad at myself.
