Rotating the beginning backwards produces the (albeit somewhat unclear) message "Paul is dead, man. Miss him miss him miss him." Backwards-masking was a big thing at my high school. By chance, I happened to have an old BSR turntable which could be made to stop rotating by pushing the RPM selector to a position beyond 78. All it took to backwards-mask then was a steady finger for the rotation. I still have a tape in my col- lection labeled "Beatles: Backward Maskings". -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: G. T.
