Prepare to embark on a nostalgic voyage through the cosmos of your childhood as the mesmerizing soundtrack for the documentary Butterfly in the Sky is unveiled. Centered on the cherished television show Reading Rainbow, this sonic masterpiece is nothing short of a reverie.

Brought to life by the innovative sounds of The Octopus Project, every track is a musical journey that intertwines the spirit of knowledge-seeking with whimsical undertones. And as an exceptional treat, The Flaming Lips lend their iconic sound to reimagine the beloved Reading Rainbow theme song, delivering an interpretation that's both fresh and reminiscent of days gone by.

But the magic isn’t just confined to the music. The soundtrack itself is a work of art, designed with collectors and aficionados in mind. Open the double LP to reveal a breathtaking butterfly gatefold popup, a visual spectacle that captures the essence of flight and imagination. Beneath the needle, the rainbow splatter vinyl evokes memories of afternoons spent chasing rainbows and stories alike.

Beyond the vinyl, the intricacy continues. Unveil layers of craftsmanship through thoughtful inserts, precision die-cuts, gleaming foils, and the unique belly belt. Each element has been meticulously curated, creating not just a listening experience, but a tactile and visual odyssey.

The Butterfly in the Sky soundtrack is more than just a collection of music; it’s a tribute to the power of reading, the magic of discovery, and the timeless appeal of Reading Rainbow. Secure your copy and let your imagination take flight once more.

GRADING

Yellow Racket assigns condition based on the Goldmine Standard for grading records.
New (N) (Not typically included in the Goldmine Standard)
New records are purchased directly from the label, distributor, or registered wholesaler. Records are still sealed. Jackets may have slight shelf wear, but media has never been played.
Mint (M)
Still sealed. Never played. No observable flaws.  Items have been purchased secondhand.
Near Mint (NM)
A Near Mint (NM) record will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. The record should show no obvious signs of wear.
The cover (and any additional packaging) has no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable defects.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
A Very Good Plus (VG+) record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches.
The disc and LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be gently marred by spindle marks, paper scuffs, wrinkled corners, etc.
Very Good (VG)
Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident, but will not overpower the music. Disc may have light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
Labels, jackets, and inserts will have visible cosmetic flaws such as wrinkles, cut-outs, slight splitting, etc. However, it will usually have less than a dozen minor flaws.
Good (G)
A record in Good condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present.
While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback. 
Poor (P), Fair (F)
The record may be cracked, badly warped, or won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve may be water damaged, split, or heavily marred by wear and writing.
