I believe that this whole business was originally started by a bunch of
Midwestern disk jockies, but I was only in 8th grade when the craze was
at its height, so I could be wrong.  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.
