Shaped "Paisley Park" Disc

Has anyone else's shaped "Paisley Park" picture disc turn a different color?
The shape is of the boy with the balloon & the record part which used to be white has turned to brown on mine!
I thought I had screwed up storing mine but then I found one being sold on E-Bay that had the same problem as mine.
Has it happened to yours?!?

Have you had it displayed for any length of time? Exposure to light does that.

Oh Yes! Funny! It happened to me last week, when I unpack all my collector items. I didn't recall the a-side being brown, so time must have done that.

There was absoluty no light where I stored it. It's definitly a chemical proces I think.

The B-side is still blanc, the way it supposed to be ....

Well, I guess I'm going to get rid of my Picture Disc!

I have exactly the same problem with my copy too!

It's only happened to the A side of the record.

It's a pity because it now looks like an antique from the 1880s rather than the 1980s!

Several of his records have that tendency. And by "brown", I mean, "shit".

As much as it sucks that all of ours has turned colors, I'm glad it wasn't just mine! I thought that maybe I had stored it wrong or something had spilled onto it.
Wonder if the manufacturers knew that this was going to happen with time?
Pity because it's a beautiful looking record!

Yup, mine's gone brown too, and I keep 'em all carefully away from any light.
