Hidden Messages In Recordings ('Backwards' / 'Reversed')

Probably well known that in the 1990s when the remaining Beatles with Jeff Lynn recorded Free as a Bird based on a John Lennon demo tape, the ending featured George Harrison playing a uke and they mixed in John saying George Formby's cathphrase "Turned out nice again!". On reversing this it sounded like "It's for John Lennon" or something similar which amused them all and they left it in the recording it that way.
In this short Youtube clip, Paul relates the story and "John's ghost" causes a technical misfunction right on queue!
