Pink Floyd - Empty Spaces (backward message) (vinyl LP)

[crocksrock101]

Syd is dead

[TheWKUCK]

i guess since everyone is talking about records and how our parents own them (this is true, my dad has a crap-load)

I'm 15, a big fan of Pink floyd, and for christmas my gf got me a Dark side of The Moon record

i thought i was in heaven

[SlackerSlayer]

Has any of the Floyd ever told how long their biggest loop tape would have been? I can see studio helping hands holding pencils at key areas to keep the tape taut.

[aNoeHFproduction]

what typeof record player is that

[glassXmoon]

We learned about backtracking in songs in music tech... really cool!

[MrGerolf]

Can't thos ruin the record?

[MrAlbo420]

I actually DID send the "ANSWER" to Old Pink, @ the address given,. It was returned to me "Address Unknown"!!!!

[jamesharp41]

that's fucking awesome that it sounds different from when you play it fowards and when you play it backwards it sounds totally different,fuckin "a"man.that gives me goosebumps.thanks for the message.

[cmalves1]

Found it when I was in 10th grade before the internet 1981, told so many people and they all thought I was on drugs... well hell yes I was on drugs, who else plays their albums backwards.... lol

[dabble1000]

thanks I had no idea? I was introduced to pink floyd on cd, how lame is that!

[smpaudio]

"congratulations, you've just discovered the secret message.  Please send your answer to "old Pink", c/o the Funny Farm." Yes, secret indeed... a joust at the Led Zep 'satanic message' controversy of the day? I've always wondered. I'm old enough to say that I was there when this went up in the 70s. Cheers for posting!

[txmomoftwo1]

not a secret message. they did that on purpose because they knew people would play backwards. they arer brilliant and knew folks were gonna get high and do that kind of stuff.

[mfisher1967]

Never knew this, and I have been listening to The Wall since it came out. Pretty Cool!

[hobbit151]

This is sooo old, there is atleast another backwards message on the wall soundtrack, they put these on there on purpose..:lol: Have you played the song another one bites the dust from the band Queen. It says "decide to smoke marijuana"

[rjciccone]

@hobbit151 I think that Queen backward message was "it's fun to smoke marijuana" there is a clip on Y/T called Queen Another One Bites the Dust Subliminal Drug .. check it out!

[tracer740]

secret messages get on my nerves!

[dealwithit9819]

NO HELP AT ALL!!!

[TheMarcia619]

I know the secret answer to the universe,it came to me in a voice one night as I was huffing lighter fluid,hahaha!

[dangsthurt]

Thumbs up if Listverse brought you here!

[Dudeatrix]

drugs

[MichaelHansenFUN]

what type of turntable is that

i want one that plays backwards

[MichaelHansenFUN]

this is pointed out in a pink floyd book by miles

also there was another backmasking in the song 'stop' pointed out by someone else

[NintendoGuy99]

I wish I could find a vinyl copy of this for a reasonable price. They should start pressing this album again, just like DSotM.

[MichaelHansenFUN]

@NintendoGuy99 i have been finding resonable priced copies of these records for years, they are not in mint condition but i have had many pass through my hands. recently i got a one dollar copy of the wall, playable condition

[NintendoGuy99]

@MichaelHansenFUN I just found one on ebay for $12, so I snatched it up right away. I kinda meant more locally around my city, I checked at all the record stores. They all said that every copy of the The Wall they get quickly gets bought, no matter the condition.

[MichaelHansenFUN]

@NintendoGuy99 i can imagine so, you should see my one dollar copy, playable but not scratched ect...

[TheWd3829]

I believe the reverse play said " Congradulations you've just discovered the secret answer, please send your answer care of pink' and not much else. If you want to hear something really spooky, I played a 45 of 'I'm Not In Love" by 10 cc on the verse were "big boys don't cry" is played backward, it sounds like" Worship the Devil now!

[fighterpiolt1992]

i wonder if anyone has ever gone to old pink?

[johnlarson2012]

Awesome. I really didn't wanna ruin my own original copy by playing it backwards :3

[pymsapuebla]

WTF?!?!?!?!?!

[MrNickro10]

Congratulations. You have just discovered the secret message.

The rest I still can't make out...

[rockerforlife2001]

@MrNickro10 Please send your answer to Old Pink, care of the funny farm, Chalfont. Roger, Carolyn's on the phone.

[MrNickro10]

@rockerforlife2001 That's deep man... Thank you

[ManilaJohn16]

search for "The Wall Analysis" if you want to actually know wtf you are talking about next time you comment here.

[MrMittendorf]

Can't understand a thing. I someone actually SAYING something?

[inkadinkadoodle]

never did like Pink Floyd...like 'em even less backwards! :D

[eddiemurphyfan100]

where did you get one of those backwards record players

[HalestormMarz97]

Pink Floyd did that on purpose. When he played it regularly, you couldn't understand a thing.

[TheMDSk8r]

i heard something like youve found the secret msg but you can clearly hear "secret message" lol

[pancaikmix45]

MY dad doesnt belive me. Where did you get the LP?

[rjciccone]

@pancaikmix45 Not sure exactly where I got it, but I can tell you it was within the month of its release so that means I got it by the end of December 1979, and it was a new album release in Nov. 1979.

[BabySmurfEater]

@pancaikmix45 It's real lol, they did it on purpose, and you can probably get it on ebay.

[SkyrimOrBust]

That is so cool! I just got an LP of The Wall today. I'm going to get a new turntable (I'm currently using one from 1957) and I'll certainly try this.

[ZorgDK]

ha, i wonder who found the hidden message first.

[HSECMAN]

Finally! someone can actually prove backwards lyrics-and they arent even backwards. they are recorded extra words. sorry guys im so friggin giddy over usa special forces popping a cap in bin laden's dome that I cant think straight

[EmmaBrownful]

0:30 "Congratulations, you have just found the secret message... Please send this message to Old pink on Funny Farm."

[pvtsoap262]

This is what I heard. Send this message to pink.

[BillyBoysing]

Hehe this is cool

[tomcornhole]

@exposed97 *



[bailout10x]

Whats the answer

[benji300003]

@kushblower. Ur a fag stop commenting on this dumb video

[nicolasf1999]

i hate pink floyd i always have

[broneslovas]

@nicolasf1999 Fuck you, buddy.

[DatingGameKiller]

@broneslovas ...I second that.

[beatlesfan464]

What kind of turntable is that?

[goshlike76]

I think I crapped my pants... oh yes I did! Old pink is dead!

[Runnmill]

@goshlike76 no, roger waters is pink

[manonthemoon516]

@Runnmill Old Pink is Syd Barret

[50bushthehobo]

please send the message to ol' pink

[splashdownharry]

that is cool... this is not fake like led zeppilin

[xxxslipknotguyxxx]

congratulations, you have just discovered the secret message

please send your answer to old pink,

fair of the funny farm, Chalford UK

[fearlessfuryrebel]

Cogrades you found the secret message, but your suppose to send it to some farm in the UK, not post it on youtube.

[noxis93]

If 'The Wall' was a game and they did it like 30 years later we'd be calling it 'Easter Egg' now stop fucking around with theories. This didn't kill Kenn(ed)y.

[stinarulz]

All our dads have their old records lol

[Turpisumbra]

Roger! Carolyn's on the phone!

[12161euclid]

until now i'd never heard the whole message. i used to spin the record backward with my finger to listen to it. always heard everything up to "...care of the funny farm". this time i definitely heard a 2nd voice interupting waters saying,"roger,carolyn's on the phone" before he finishes giving the address. now i can concentrate on finding out what roger says backward on amused to death after "what god wants part one".another cool thing about the wall is the end of side 4 links to side 1s opening

[cuzaseso]

Congratulations, you have discovered the secret message. Please send the answer to old pink at the funnyfarm... WTF!!!!

[SgtPepperMKW]

@cuzaseso its a reference to syd barrett.......google around:P

[cuzaseso]

@SgtPepperMKW lol I KNOW THAT! :P

[SgtPepperMKW]

@cuzaseso oh lol. sorry when u said wtf i figured u didnt. just trying to be helpful haha

[cuzaseso]

@SgtPepperMKW Its cool, ima pink floyd fan myself, my dads got all their albums... on LP! XD

[SgtPepperMKW]

@cuzaseso I have most of their albums on lp. my dads collections better than mine though

[hey45671]

Someone said Luka means hunters. By that, it is supposed to be like he says hello to all secret message hunters ;)

[springsteen96]

are you a DJ? i cant find that turntable ANYWHERE

[VincentsGames]

I always wondered what all that gibberish at the begging was. Haha then I read the song lyrics, I had to find out for myself. thanks!

[petejt]

that's awesome, thanks

[mandobanjoguitar]

this is by far, the best of all these videos. so clear! nice job man.

[pagani43]

Does anybody know how to play a record backwards on a technics sl1200-esque turntable without playing it upside down (I already know that technique)?

[kingsergio128]

wait is this the uk or us pressing of the lp

[rjciccone]

@kingsergio128 This is a USA pressing on Columbia records

[philecops]

satan sort de ce disque XD

[brittney3060]

-Hello, Luka... Congratulations. You have just discovered the secret message. Please send your answer to Old Pink, care of the Funny Farm, Chalfont...

-Roger! Carolyne's on the phone!

-Okay.

[DumbAssNegative]

Strange. But not surprising. Exactly what I'd expect from Pink Floyd. Awesome band.

[aberdown]

It clearly Roger but the funny farm speech is almost impossible to make out. Me thinks it ain't there. Thanks for trying anyway.

[hey45671]

@aberdown It is, turn volume louder.

[attapattapie]

yep, I played with this over and over and over in 1979 on an old console stereo system. My dad was pissed wondering why his needles kept breaking all the time. Old crap systems couldnt take the backwards spin. Going to see roger in the wall november in atlanta. He is doing the entire wall. thanks for posting!

[SlimeTron5000]

@attapattapie I did it on a direct drive turntable and nothing bad happened.

[AMPtheDRUGofCHOICE]

careful not to play it too loud satan might come an take u away.....

[tt0botel]

you have crap vidio quality..and i forgot to say B.O.R.I.N.G

[Coldfear0108]

Now THATS clear!

[unjustifieddoom]

end part about carolyn is:Roger,Carolyn is on the phone!

[chrismarshall1950]

@CatsRcute03 well don't you think that this particular message would be a bit more famous?

[aqweaqweaqweaqweaqwe]

''Dammit Carolyn, I was recording this secret message and you interrupted me!

Fine! Then no one will know the secrets of the universe!!''

[jpaulobrazil]

0:25 haha \o/

[KidAJonni]

this is a cool turntable. I have the same Stanton model

[sweetcherrylolipop]

Cool, a turntable that is made especially so you hear the satanistic messages of old songs, were you bought it?

[ryer98]

no it duz not say carolyns on the phone but that is strange it says that whuen carolyn was his wife at the time it reall says  congratulations you have just discovered the secret message send your answer to old pink care of the funny farm CHALFORD , UK

[illuminotme999]

@ryer98 There is a second voice, near the end of Roger's message, saying (sounds like) "Roger...Carolyn's in the back"... its at 0:41

[diatras]

caroline's on the phone!

[pimposrock]

scary

[FutureAssasin89]

Took me 6 times so I could hear it

[pucksterz12]

Thanks for this. I've been trying to figure out a way to listen to this without a record and turntable!

[brokenpsp]

its crazy how clear it is when you listen to it in real life, if you cant hear it, do it yourself lol

[spheremaster90]

Its Roger saying "Congratulations, you just found the secret message"

[ItchyClickfinger]

niplles

[ItalianBandit]

Vinal

OLD SCHOOL!!

:)

[MENOTYOUism]

Thank You for this, now I can stop trying to recreate/describe it.............

I hear it as

"Congratulations, youve just discoverd the secret message, please send your answer to old pink care of the funny farm( in the background someone says " Charles font "another voice, or the voice over? says " Carolyn on the phone")

[MalBourne]

Wow, a secret message saying you've found the secret message. Lame. That's like a sign that says "you are reading a sign."

[diatras]

@MalBourne lol

[sofakingdrunk66]

The Wall is a masterpiece!

[StonedEpiphone]

He says Congrulations you found the hidden message .. :)

[JetBlack7000]

This kind of thing is only cool when it isn't intentionally put there. Still thumbs up to the poster of this vid. Its still nice to be able to hear this without having to play the record backwards yourself.

[Modernhippie01]

who is carolyn? at the end (its barely audible, but you can definately hear it) it says something something carolyn's on the phone.....

[rjciccone]

@Modernhippie01 Carolyn was Roger Waters' wife at the time of the recording of "The Wall"

[Modernhippie01]

@rjciccone yeah that makes sense...... this is pretty cool. i think ima go listen to the whole album in order now. haha

[kevinbemeh]

@Modernhippie01 its sounds like "Carolyn's at the funny farm on Chalfront."

[joshstockinger]

wow, im surprized ive nevernoticed this, seeing as how ive heard tyhis song like 1000 times. ima try to figure out everythin he says.

[2002299]

wat does the song say?

[thenoobsbigmac]

im pretty sure that before he says "congratulations" he say something like "hello doctor"

[The777JesusFreak]

ha ha... that was awesome.... leo did a lot of intentional messages... like fire on high... theres a lot of them.

[megarock81]

Pink Floyd really DID plan this to mess with the fans, many rockbands did. Like the Beatles in the song 'A Day in the Life' they put a pitch in the end so high for a gap of time that only a dog could hear it and it was a secret message to dogs! And then it starts again sayin over and over 'never could be any other way...' many bands did this sorta stuff just for the fun of it.

[Freakenomics]

what is this saying i cant understand this

[nothingmuch789]

Didnt a kid in Ohio state find this out first?

[Eoinmoo4]

Funny farm, a pejorative slang term for a psychiatric hospital

[TheRealDeal1515]

Haha, congratulations everybody. We found the secret message !!!!

[zulu547]

roger! cindys on the phone!

[cartoonfan1920s]

Oh damn! I wanted to know where to send the letter too! Why oh why did Carolyn have to call at that time?! LOL

[chrismarshall1950]

there is no way that this was a mistake. they planned this

[Orjmart]

@chrismarshall1950 Ofcourse.

[JakeyCochraneWHU]

@chrismarshall1950 Oh defiently, i havent heard it in a while but it does say something like "Congratulations, you have just discovered the secret message... send your reply to... "

[Modernhippie01]

@JakeyCochraneWHU it says, "hello luka, (it means hunter, i looked it up haha) then it says "Congratulations! You have just discovered the secret message.  Please send the answer back to old Pink, (im guessing thats either a refference to Pink floyd, or syd barret. the bands lead singer.) care of the funny farm, Charlesfront. Then, i dont know who, comes in and says, "rodger, carolyn is on the phone."

[OutlawedGaming]

@chrismarshall1950 no shit

[AjHarrietha]

@chrismarshall1950 No shit Watson

[DocRoe92]

@chrismarshall1950 durpa durpa! you are a genius...

[rjciccone]

@chrismarshall1950 agreed ... just a little something to mess with the fans!

[santiagodebellavista]

soooooo awesome!

[TheFloyd623]

lol you have just discovered the secret message please send your answer to old pink at the funny farm, Rodger Carolyn's on the phone

[ILoveMySon4EVER1]

@TheFloyd623 can someone please tell me word for word what they r actually sayin. every1 on utube has it played backwards without typin it up cuz this is my first time hearin bout this song too... thanks a bunch whoever will hopefully plz tell me :))

[KushBlower0]

@TheFloyd623 it says "...to old pink, caretaker of the funny farm..." (:

[TechnicalDifficult]

@KushBlower0 you just replied to a one year old comment, that's cool

[KushBlower0]

@TechnicalDifficult better late than never... asshole -_-

[TechnicalDifficult]

@KushBlower0 I didn't mean to be an asshole. Just wanted to let you know, because i think it's kinda weird. He probably know it by now. sorry

[luvveyduvvey]

"Rodger, Carolyn's on the phone!"

at the end :D

[86cutlassSX1]

everything i heard this it gives me the creeps,but i love the song

[DaddysGirlShannyn]

Pink Floyd is my life. and my Brothers and was my Dads im sure it still is.

but anyhoo

Pink Floyd is just that kick ass to have hidden messages in their music. I love it!

[Rampagingnoob]

it was intentional.

[googlevideosrule]

haha kl

[DarkShinigamiKing]

I have that Vinyl!! My father loves Pink Floyd!!

[R8Y3RCRVFT3R]

omg u bastard! i hope i have one U__U

[pivenkehrle]

I've seen this before, and I love it because this one is OBVIOUSLY real, not one of the ridiculous, barely intelligeble ones people come up with. Example: I saw one where someone reversed the "Pokemon Rap" and claimed it said "I love Satan" or some such bull.

[Exxile400]

see if every band was trying to hide secret messages in their songs don't you think they would do it like this rather than having a bunch of ppl randomly make out words from what is clearly just a bunch of gibberish. This message was clear as day unlike many other accused songs.

[1cecr1me]

!looc os si sihT

[MittensDM]

thats actually pretty amazingly awesome i must say. Just made my day.

[imjustsayinyo]

!yawa nwolb ma I

[guitarfreak1363]

this is kickass!

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

WHAT TYPE OF TURNTABLE IS THIS?!?!?! what do you press to make it go backwards, we dont see it...

[rjciccone]

It is a Stanton direct drive -- button I press to play in reverse is the the right and under the logo

[BobbyfromPepper]

@TEMPmichaelhansen BLAHB LAH BLAH OH MY FUKIN GAWD MY CAPSLOCK IS BROKEN AND I"M TOO STUPID TO USE GOOGLE!

[epzik8]

I want that record so bad!!!!!

[Bakergirl757]

That's some Crazy stuff right there O-O

lolz but it's so smart!

[ertaquito]

hahahah this is not satanic u retarded!

but i think it's awesome

[Acinternationa1]

Its Amazing Becuase This Was Done On Purpose BY Pink Floyd.

[gnivri93]

that's tight

[PupuTheClown]

"congraduations, you just discovered the secret message, please send your answer to Old Pink in care of the funny farm",,,,,,(incomprehensible jiberish)

[mysticat614]

'in care of the funny farm, chalford, UK'

[kidcouger]

I just noticed that "Chalfront" sounds the same forward in backwards

[PupuTheClown]

,,I thought he was saying "Chadfolk" England but it don't exist, I think he reversed that last word again, also the other voice was saying something but it's hard to concentrate on that one.

[kidcouger]

The last voice said "Roger,Carolin's on the phone."

[jobeanie123]

omg i didn't totally believe it at first, but i tried it! it's true!! AMAZING thanx for this, i amazed some ppl

[1jube]

Hahaha you guys are dumb.... it is NOT santanic look on google.

[Cheesecakemilitia2]

Send your answer to old pink?????
