My first exposure to it was from Assemblies of God evangelist John Muncy. I have looked into backmasking extensively, and I have some opinions about it. It's interesting that I stumbled on the backmasking thread. I have heard parts of Stairway played in reverse but while i can hear something distantly reminiscent of "here's to my sweet satan" and the devil's number appears to be quoted after that, I can't help feel it's been stretched a touch by some well-meaning Christians. and i feel that whatever was spouted at the time, many churchgoers bought it, and I daresay some outside as well, but many more outside were skeptical. I think there may be a degree of truth in it but you also must consider this was done in a decade where the age of aquarius was just fading off the horizon and some crazy occult practices were beginning to enter the mainstream, and to combat that, the ultra-conservative church at the time in America and England played scaremonger, and became averse to anything outside of the gospel, make of that what you will. There may be some truth in that, it's not a new story, it surfaced in Australia some 20 years ago, I still have the tape to prove it (no I didn't tape it, although I may have been a bright spark as 1 year old, I still struggle with the VCR!! ).
