Toto Limited Edition picture disc: Side A - Africa. Side B - Rosanna  In an African shaped 7" picture disc on Columbia Records. This is still sealed in its stiff plastic/vinyl clear packaging and I’m not breaking the seal to take a picture. It has a sticker from the record store chain Oranges on it but I’m pretty sure I bought it in a store called Music Works in Chicago in the 80s. 
It has a copyright of 1982 on it but I think that is for the song not the production of the picture disc.
