I do seem to recall hearing the "turn me on, dead man" segment that was on one of the Beatle albums if you played it backwards. I can contribute one other piece of information: the reason why Paul is not facing the camera on the back cover of "Sgt. Pepper." The reason (I heard this on a local Beatles program) is that the person in the photo is *not* Paul, who was unable to make it to the photo session. They got some sort of stand-in for the session, but of course could not have him face the camera. David Wright {vax135|decvax|purdue}!cornell!ddw ddw@cornell
