300

This 40th anniversary box set of commemorative phonograph records was procuced by Ozma Records in 2017. The set includes three vinyl long playing (LP) records, playable on a standard turntable (although the original space-flown record was meant to be played at a slower speed to accommodate more music and greetings). The anniversary project was supported by a fundraising campaign through the website Kickstarter. Supporters who pledged $98 or more received their own copy of the boxed set at the end of the campaign. The original Voyager “Sounds of Earth” record presented a message from humanity to whatever intelligent civilization outside of our solar system discovered the Voyager planetary research probes launched in 1977.

On January 28, 2018 the 40th anniverary box set won a Grammy Award from the Recording Academy for Best Boxed or Special Limited-Edition Package.
