So I'm listening to PF The Wall for the zillionth time tonight and the song "Dirty Woman" comes on, during which there is a fairly unmasked bit of backward masking- you know the scourge of satan from the seventies. Now I know if you spin it backwards it says very clearly "congratulations, you have found a secret message." I also remember spinning back Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" during the chorus and hearing (very clearly) "its fun to smoke marijuana, marijauna, marijuana"
So has anyone else spent any time playing around with this? I remember a lot of religious groups playing a bunch of records during the early 80's they said were backward masked, but I no longer remember them- I think it might be fun to rip them onto my computer and bring them into a audio editing program, reverse them and strip out auxilary frequencies and see if I can hear anything. Which of course makes you wonder if the BM is preserved in cd versions, or if it was something only doable on vinyl.
Maybe I need to get Pete's collection of beat up vinyl and a junk turntable so I can "experiment"!
