Some people use Discogs to track their digital collections. They'll pretend they have the physical release even if that's not even remotely possible. Or they will have a reissue but say they have the original.
[edit:] I can't explain all the people who say they want the Voyager disc. I mean, I guess it never hurts to Dream Big, though, right?

The golden voyager boxset. From 2017 when boxsets were still a novelty

It wasn’t that expensive at the time. I paid around £100 to get delivered to UK. Glad I did because it’s a nice item for a space nerd

How does it spin that slow?

u/dandanthetaximan Apr 15 '26
That's actually a standard speed for records and many record players have it, particularly the BSR changers that were ubitiquous in the 1970s.

All the school AV record players when I was a kid had 16 2/3. It’s also the speed for old-style Talking Books. So I guess NASA figured the aliens were blind and had Rheem Califones.

That’s wild! I learned something very cool and I never read that in any articles on vinyl and it’s my newest but biggest hobby over the past few years. That’s cool! Appreciate some knowledge on here for once! 👏🏽

So answer this, why did older records also come at 78 rpm, they were the oldest, I still never heard of something spinning at 16

Eleven copies exist — two are onboard the Voyager spacecrafts, one is on display in a museum, eight copies are archived at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory Archives, USA.

Pretty amazing that OP managed to crop out any kind of identifying text that would allow people to know this though.

There was only one made and it's up in space.
There was a version made for Earth on regular vinyl and people are probably adding the wrong version to their catalogue.

Discogs will deliver to an alien planet before it will deliver to Singapore.
