This wasn't just any regular record, this was the \u003cem\u003eVoyager Golden Record\u003c\/em\u003e - an one-of-a-kind artifact that tells the story of planet Earth to any extraterrestrial beings who may encounter it. This beautiful disc not only contains a comprehensive collection of sounds from our planet (from nature, to spoken greetings in hundreds of languages, and some of the greatest music from all eras), but also images, and science. It was the brainchild of brilliant science educator\/astronomer \u003cstrong\u003eCarl Sagan\u003c\/strong\u003e, along with astronomer \u003cstrong\u003eFrank Drake\u003c\/strong\u003e - father of the scientific Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), creative director \u003cstrong\u003eAnn Druyan\u003c\/strong\u003e, science journalist\/author and record producer \u003cstrong\u003eTimothy Ferris\u003c\/strong\u003e, space artist\/designer \u003cstrong\u003eJon Lomberg\u003c\/strong\u003e, and artist \u003cstrong\u003eLinda Salzman Sagan\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is the first time the golden record has been widely available on vinyl. From \u003cstrong\u003eOzma\u003c\/strong\u003e: \"\u003cem\u003eAs we embarked on our own Kickstarter project to make the golden record available on vinyl for the first time, in celebration of Voyager’s 40th anniversary, we realized that we saw the original artifact through three different lenses. As an exquisitely curated music compilation, the Voyager record is an inviting port of entry to unfamiliar yet entrancing sounds from other cultures and other times. As an objet d’art and design, it represents deep insights about communication, context, and the power of media. In the realm of science, it raises fundamental questions about who we are and our place in the universe. At the intersection of those three perspectives, the Voyager record is a testament to the potential of science and art to ignite humanity’s sense of curiosity and wonder.\u003c\/em\u003e\" This 2018 boxset includes all the Voyager Golden Record audio content remastered from the original analog tapes and spread across three gold colored LP's, each with their own pic sleeves.
