    Or, it shows people did play the album, they didn’t skip tracks, it was an appealing album, and there were copies of the album that didn’t include it.

    Don't forget The Clashs' "Train In Vain", wasn't supposed to be there...

    I'd think any engineer who stuck something unasked-for on a Beatles album would be working at the Wimpy Bar within a week.

    Not listed in the Wiki article

    Cowboy Junkies, Miles From Our Home, about 3-4 minutes(???) after the last track "Those Final Feet" concludes, there's a great unlisted album closer. IMHO, one of the better tacks on one of their weaker albums.

    And you know this, as fact, because?

    Can you please cite a reliable source as to how that song fragment ended up tagged onto the very end Cry Baby Cry, without nary a mention of it anywhere, on the record jacket, or elsewhere for years. Seeing as that recording fragment came from an unrelated session for 'I Will', according to Wikipedia, anyway.

    And the situation as I hypothesized is exactly how 'Her Majesty' ended up BACK on the tail end of Abbey Road, after Paul described it as rubbish and deemed it to be excised and then destroyed.
    (IIRC correctly there is video of an interview with the engineer how surreptitiously added Her Majesty to the end of Abbey Road out there somewhere.)

    I don't, which is why my post began with the words "I'd think." But I wouldn't assume that anyone could just play tricks on the most popular/powerful group in the recording industry. Likewise, I would certainly think that the Beatles signed off on "Her Majesty" before it actually went out.

    Cracker's Kerosene Hat has four hidden tracks buried deep at the end of the CD. Hi-Desert Biker Meth Lab, Euro Trash Girl, I Ride My Bike and Kerosene Hat (Demo Outtake)

    I missed it a few times, but at the end of the demo of Edge of Forever (Poised) is a backwards masking chorus of Life, kinda neat.
    I tubed it awhile ago in case anyone's interested :)

    I'm a little confused. I thought that the pregap could only hold a few seconds of material, not minutes, let alone 20 minutes!

    We're talking about putting the CD in the player, then rewinding past the beginning of track 1?

    I first heard of this from a local band Creedle who on one of their songs sampled Van Helen's "And The Cradle Will Rock" where they were able to get "...and the Creedle... and the Creedle..." in there.

    I was told that's all the data that could be pur in a track zero. This was the mid-90s, so maybe things have changed.

    Not necessarily. The initial copies of the album never had "Endless, Nameless"

    No, you can indeed have a long pregap, as the Leon album did. Think it's just a question of where the first track is indexed.

    Yes, you can have an entire song in there. You could probably create an entire CD as a pregap if you indexed it that way, as long as you started with a fair amount of silence so the person would know when to stop reverse seeking.

    I was freaked out multiple times by Endless Nameless...I simply forgot to consider it most times I played the cd.

    :kilroy: Every Coke commercial done by a major popular music act in the 1960s contains the phrase, "Things Go Better With Coca Cola." Roughly half of them fade out with the phrase, "Coke after Coke after Coke."

    The Twin Peaks Season 2 And More Soundtrack has a hidden track before the first songs. You have to rewind-scan to hear about a minute of blowing wind and muffled music.

    I had not asserted in my post that the 'fabs' were completely unaware that it was done, just that as
    noted in the article about how Her Majesty ended up at the end of Abbey Road, due to an engineer 'mistake'(?). It was regarded as an happy accident by all and left in.

    Even though I never knew about the extended version before this thread, from the 1st time I listened to White Album (actually I only listened to the 2nd LP of the original vinyl version, since that's all I have from the Beatles), I never thought that "Can You Take Me Back" would be part of "Cry Baby Cry". I always saw them as two separate things, since they sound completely different to me. Although I didn't know that "Can You Take Me Back" was a full song, it seems that I was at least right that it's 'something' on its own...

    Out of all the hidden track we carried together, "13" from Queen's definately the scariest, strangest and creepiest, while Nirvana(the masters of hidden tracks :agree:)'s "Endless, Nameless" is the angriest.

    You should add it to the list! I've relied on those lists quite a lot to make sure I'm finding everything when I'm ripping my CDs. They're certainly not complete, but they're still informative.

    It’s not a secret track, more, like, ‘tucked away’.
    I suppose why it’s track 69 has to do with Tool’s particular sense of humor, if Undertow’s artwork already didn’t give that away.

    I always thought the monologue was a cameo by Bill Hicks, but supposedly it was Maynard’s landlord.
    I guess he doesn’t need to deal with all that anymore, heh!

    I love how it’s sequenced with Flood preceding it.
    Undertow’s last four songs really set the stage for Ænima.

    Nah....

    They merely popularized the phenomenon and Gallons... on In Utero wasn’t really a secret track as it’s listed.
    The Beatles did it first, on the White Album, then Abbey Road.

    Other early examples are:

    Yes - We Have Heaven (reprise) on Fragile.
    The Clash - Train In Vain on London Calling.
    U2 - Fire demo (Saturday Night) on Boy.
