Hidden Tracks (!!! SPOILER ALERT !!!)

We haven't mentioned Weird Al's effort.

 

Split Enz “Mental Notes” lp ends with a a short end of album track. That was 1975

 

Isn't this the hidden track that's a parody to Nirvana's "E,N"?

 

It is.

 

That just shows how often he didn't play the whole album, cos if he did he would have heard it every play. It also shows if someone can't get through an album at least once without skipping tracks it can't be very appealing.

 

That's the title track. It's listed everywhere.

 

Actually, you're completely wrong. My dad's a big Nirvana fan, too and he listens to "Nevermind" as a whole (except from "Endless") almost every day, without skipping any of the 12 tracks. He just always pressed "stop" after "Something In The Way" ended and never ever even thought to bother at all why his CD player kept running... He as well thought that "October" from U2 on "Best of 80-90" was part of "All I Want Is You" and that the song was intended to have a one-minute break in its middle as some sort of stylistic divice... Unlike me, he doesn't care about hidden tracks at all and thinks they're complete rubbish. Eventhough he's a huge music fan and has a big music collection himself, I honestly don't think he knew that something like a hidden track existed before I told him about "E,N"...

 

On most of the versions of Nirvana's "In Utero" it's listed on the backcover as "American Dollar Purchase Incentive Track" as track 13 (eventhough it appears on track 12 after more than 20 minutes of silence after the end of "All Apologies") and is only a normal bonus track, but just found out that there are CD-versions of this fantastic album (my favourite Nirvana album!) on which "Gallons Of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through The Strip" was included but not at all listed anywhere, neither inside the booklet nore on the backcover, what would actually make this jam a hidden track on these "Editions"...

 

There's also the hidden track "Halleluja" on the Japanese versions of Rammstein's "Mutter". It follows after 2 min of silence after "Nebel".

Interestingly some of these CDs that have this hidden track don't work / play if you put them into the CD player...

I've got a copy with the hidden track, luckly it works

 

My brother had Abbey Road on cassette. Because the sides were of unequal length he wound it on after The End and didn't hear Her Majesty for a couple of weeks.

 

What about the hidden 'something' (what ever you want to call it...???) between "Cry Baby Cry" and "Revolution 9" on the Beatles' White Album?

 

There's two on Satanic Majesties. Cosmic Christmas at the end of side one and that carnival barker at the start of side two.

 

The what, now? I do not believe I am aware of a track between “Cry Baby Cry” and “Revolution 9”...

 

Hidden track from Danzig 4

 

Can you take me back where I came from, can you take me back, ooh can you take me where I came from, brother can you take me back

 

Ha... I hadn’t thought of that as a “track” for some reason.

 

There's an extended version on the box

 

The Beatles titled it "Can You Take Me Back". It's not part of "Cry Baby Cry" nor "Revolution 9", since it was recorded two month after those 2 songs...

 

The Byrds - "Amazing Grace" on Untitled/Unissued

 

The 'real' version from the box

 

So, it's actually a full song on it's own...? Didn't know that...

 

Is this where The Who got "Coke after Coke?" Or was that phrase common to other 60s Coke ads? The New Seekers one is the earliest one I remember, funnily enough, from toddlerhood.

(Speaking of hidden tracks.... That deluxe Sell Out has one, Armenia's backwards guitar track.)

 

Yeah, I get that it’s not part of the song “Cry Baby Cry” but since it’s on the end of that track, it hadn’t registered in my mind as its own track to consider “hidden”... but I suppose it is!

 

Just spun this the other day. It's fun to wait for & recognize the line that starts the classic White Album coda.

 

It has no title on LP, and never did, and it wasn't a separated as a track on the LP or on the CD. It was initially thought of as a coda to Cry Baby Cry for years. Until the fuller version was discovered in the 1980s or 1990s.
The story I have heard repeatedly over the years is was stuck on as a joke by an an engineer, IIRC.
Without the fabs even knowing.
