Have you heard Beatles backmasking on The White Album of "Number 9" Listen to this oddity

This could be heard on high grade turntables with a vinyl version of The White Album by The Beatles by spinning it backward: And I did it not long after it was released...


Here is a recent online discovery, which "allegedly" led to the Charles Manson mass murders.
Imagine confused, displaced, young, people, led by a sociopath, listening to this backmasking of HELTER SCELTER, while tripping on Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD)


As respected national radio host, Paul Harvey, opened every show with: "Here is the rest of the story."

Back masking having ANY influence on the psyche is horseshit.

"He was only able to play jailhouse games on emotionally wounded kids."

Even so, the sound of Helter Skelter played backward is strange. "Emotionally wounded kids" would hear whatever their cult leader, Charles Manson, claimed was in the sounds, while they were high on LSD.

In fact, The Beatles song, Helter Skelter, was inspired by a roller coaster ride.

Here is the actual version for readers to appreciate:
