    Summary

    [edit]

    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.
