Description
You are bidding on 1 new copy of the VERY LIMITED (150) edition of Third Man Records' Carl Sagan: A Glorious Dawn composed and arranged by John Boswell. The other copy photographed is my personal copy in order to show etching detail on the back of the record. This "Cosmos Colored Vinyl" is also glow-in-dark and looks awesome. It also includes a jukebox tag for your uh...jukebox. The yellow printed Third Man Records bag will be included with your purchase. It is torn at the top (which is visible in the photo), but it does not damage the logo. “A Glorious Dawn” is a moving arrangement of Carl Sagan’s sagacious words culled from his magnificent “Cosmos” series. The piece initially gained recognition when composer John Boswell uploaded to YouTube his remixed Sagan dialogue edited, Auto-Tuned and put to a beat and coupled with a guest appearance by Stephen Hawking. At well over one million views, this is a project that goes far-beyond the buzz of “Internet phenomenon.” To hear “A Glorious Dawn” and view the accompanying video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgiXGELjbc The release is timed to coincide with the 75th anniversary of Sagan’s birth. Also happening that day is a reception in United States’ Congress with speeches by senators, NASA officials and assorted scientists, all hosted by the Planetary Society, which was co-founded by Sagan. Third Man Records, in conjunction with United Record Pressing, fabricated a special “Cosmos Colored Vinyl” of which 150 copies will be available…50 randomly inserted into mail orders for “A Glorious Dawn” and the remainder to be made available at the Third Man Records Nashville store front at noon on November 9th. The one-sided single features a very special etching on the flipside. Reproduced from the original artwork, the etching copies the etching included with the Voyager Golden Record, set off into space in 1977 as the most elaborate message-in-a-bottle idea ever imagined. With its inclusion of Blind Willie Johnson’s “Dark Was The Night” it goes without saying that the Voyager Golden Record is one of Third Man’s favorite releases of all-time.
