The part between "I'm so tired" and "Blackbird" has a little gibberish
from John that, when played backwards says "Paul is dead, man. Miss him.
Miss him." I swear it does, I've tried it.

Also, if you play the beginning of "Revolution #9" backwards (the part
where the guy is saying "Number nine. Number nine. Number nine..." then
you'll here the words "Turn me on dead man. Turn me on dead man..." Not
as clear cut, but still kind of cool.

that Paul is dead.

In England a "glass onion" is supposed to be a glass coffin. This is just
something that I heard.

There are many backwards phrases in many Beatles songs. The first is
Rain with the ending being totally reversed. Then there is some crap at
the end of A Day In The Lifer that i haven't explained yet. There's
plenty of them. In Revolution 9 the "number 9" reversed sounds like
"turn me on dead man." Another is a pretty neat one which is in Free as
A Bird, at the end it sounds like some crap in jibberish but played
backwords it is clearly "Turned out nice again, hey mister"

"i'm so tired" before (or is it after) the infamous "paul is a dead man"
has john asking "do you want this donut?"

just freaking out over here?

In the old days, we had a turntable and turned it backwards. However,
it was kinda hard on the turntable and the record.

If you were really in high cotton, you had a friend with a
reel-to-reel tape deck who'd tape it for you & then play it backwards.

I happen to have Sound Recorder on my computer; I simply record from the
CD and flip it around. Pretty simple, did it with a lot of backwards
stuff.
