@notnilccm I think, what You call the "backward version", is the last part of the song (and also of this take)

Anyone know of the original backward version? Is there a recording or any info about it anywhere?

[TheSanityInspector]

@wowutils Well said! Even Beatles-haters like Michael Stipe are indebted to them, since all of REM's music sounds like a reworking of Rain.

so many great things going on here: among them is the coolest bass track on a Beatles 45

The sound itself, warm... just gives me the chills

This song and Taxman is why Ringo is Ringo. When they let him play instead of just keeping the beat he was brilliant.
