[net.music] One other backwards-masked thing

Here's mine; it's off the White Album's "Blackbird".
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".
