Rain_backwards.ogg (Ogg Vorbis sound file, length 13 s, 89 kbps, file size: 141 KB)

Summary

Reversed audio sample of a section of "Rain (The Beatles song)", from Revolver (album), by The Beatles. This clip is short (under 30 seconds) and therefore a small proportion of the original song. Its quality has been reduced to no higher than the equivalent of a Vorbis quality setting of 0 (roughly 64kbit/s).

This sample is used to illustrate the backmasked message allegedly found in this portion of the song in Backmasking. It cannot be replaced by a free sample because the possible backmasking is unique to this recorded version of the song.

Cropped and reversed using Audacity.
