The purpose of the records was to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth, designated for any intelligent life in the universe who might find them, just imagine it.
The Voyager spacecrafts are still out there today, both with a long journey ahead of them.

Carl Sagan was an astronomer working on the project back in the 70’s. He had wanted “Here Comes the Sun” included on the records, and The Beatles favored the idea. Unfortunately, EMI refused to release the rights and so it was not included.
Sadly, aliens won’t be able to listen to one of the most influential and legendary groups that have changed our World in a positive way. Way to go EMI, trying to protect your intergalactic copyright music.
