Nice job, warrrreagl. I think the backwards cymbal at the beginning of one of the tunes on Sgt. Pepper's was the first backwards recording in popular music.
I listened to "Revolution 9" backwards with my uncle when I was 12 and it sounds like, "Stand me up, dead man. Stand me up, dead man..." Turn me on dead man makes more sense though.

Here's my next question for you:
What exactly is it that makes "A Day in the Life" the best song
ever?
Serious question: What's the backwards sounding stuff at the end of that tune? Forwards it sounds like they're saying something about Annie Oakley.

B/T/W This thread is GREAT! I love threads that really share someone's knowledge on an interesting topic. Thanks warrrreagl.
