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, Click hereThe 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.

mrstripe Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 I was just about to post the ebay links. They look awesome. Can't wait to get my package. Hope to find a cosmos edition, but even if I don't get a copy I'll be happy with my "normal" edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
