The Voyager Golden Record that NASA launched into space is getting a full box set release

An audio visual capsule of humanity, curated by Carl Sagan.

In 1977 NASA launched two robots – Voyager 1 and 2 – into space, with a golden record attached to each spacecraft.

Created as a way to communicate with alien life-forms, the Voyager Golden Record, a gold-plated copper phonograph cut at 16 2/3 rpm, was overseen by legendary scientist Carl Sagan, took nearly a year to make, and featured music ranging from Mozart to Azerbaijani folk to Chuck Berry, alongside hundreds of audio and visual selections, morse code and more.

Following the success of its 2016 Kickstarter campaign, OSMA Records is releasing the Voyager Golden Record for the first time as part of a deluxe vinyl boxset and record book x 2CD set to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Voyager 1 and 2’s launch.

The deluxe 3xLP box set, priced at $98, contains three translucent gold vinyl, a Voyager trajectory slipmat, a full-colour 96-page softcover book containing all images form the original record, gallery of images, plus essay from golden record producer Tim Ferris, gold foil print, and digital download card.

The book x 2CD set, priced at $50, contains audio of all the Voyager Golden Record music alongside the full colour 96 page hardcover version of the book.
