 A Bit of Backwards Masking History:

The Beatle’s George Martin was the original creator of backwards masking. Songs like “Rain”, “Tomorrow Never Knows” and “I’m Only Sleeping” all released in the spring of 1966, were the worlds first exposure to the technique. Many more Beatles songs followed, each getting better, to the point where backwards masking became a legitimate sound in recorded music as if it were a played instrument.

Another master of the technique, Frank Zappa, began mixing in the technique with his unique brand of music parody. As more and more bands began to use the technique, Jefferson Starship, ELO, Black Oak Arkansas and The Cars for example, some found that obvious subliminal messages could be worked into the music.

Then came Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway To Heaven”, the king of all time for accused satanic backwards masking. People still argue today if in fact the song is like it says: 'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings’. Arguments over this song have persisted.
