The best thing I ever read about backward masking wasn't, admittedly, to do with music but with TV. In the episode of cult sci-fi comedy "Red Dwarf" called "Backwards" (everything happens, who can guess? Yeah, backwards) there's a scene where a pub owner comes in and tells two of the characters, who had been performing there as "The Sensational Reverse Brothers" (basically doing their act FORWARDS, which to the people of backwards world was hilarious, you get the idea) that they're fired, for starting a fight --- which has yet to happen. It's backwards world after all.
The good bit is, for those who somehow managed to take the discs and spin them backwards (think this only applied to videotapes) the guy is actually saying, backwards, something like "Haven't you got something better to do than running this backwards to see what it says?"
Love the irony in that!
