So, of course I went down a rabbit hole on this. So far I’m unsuccessful, but I did find out the Smithsonian Institute has a searchable database of all their junk, which is neat.
Anyone with Mastadon or Twitter wanna take a swing at getting their attention? The pic was taken August 31, 2019. Definitely the Natural History Museum in DC, pretty sure it was the geology wing? I’m gonna email them, see what I get.
Also, for posterity, I’m gonna say it’s either Doom or the White Album
there is a slight variation in the color of the disk about halfway through it. then ya subtract a bit for the geometry in that there is more data in the outer rings because they are wider. it writes from insider->out

It’s the Baby Got Back CD single by Sir Mix-A-Lot.
This also made me curious… like 40% of the disk is used…so around 250mb maybe?
Well, is it a 650MB one or a 730MB one?
How do you know how much of the disc is used?
