QuoteThe Voyager Golden Record is a phonograph record included in the two Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977. It contains sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth. It is intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form, or far future humans, that may find it.

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the contents of The Voyager Golden Record? Thanks in advance...
EDIT - I just found a BitTorrent for this... I'll download it and see if it's The Golden Record in its entirety. If anyone is interesting in hearing this, let me know - it's long out of print, and NASA cleared it to be shot across the universe, so I don't think copyright is an issue.
EDIT 2X - Damnit, no seeds.
Cool, let us know. I found these 3 pages about the contents.

As an absolute Sci-Fi dork, and one who looks to the Heavens at night, the thought of our universal siblings (who ARE out there) finding this "message in the bottle" is so exciting.
I'm sad that the Beatles' label wouldn't allow them to include Here Comes The Sun...
I wonder what I would put in my Golden Record if it were up to me?
I've finally got this record on my iPod... it is freaking cool.
What if the aliens only have an iPod?
Could be worse...
