I understand Legion of Green Men had a track that was BEFORE track 1. So, if you just pressed play, then used the seek to rewind to a spot before 0:00, you could access that... I haven't found that disc though, but thought that would a lot better than just having a track99, or long silence at the end before the hidden track.

Any other cool finds?

Blind Melon's "Soup" has a similarly hidden track.

Thats strange... how is that the CD would be made, as I thought the CDP would pick-up the hidden track as Track 1: 0:00. Surprised thats not used more often... Or it could be that it is used quite often but no1 has the patience to test it on every CD

Cheers

Marilyn Manson had a track like that on Anti-Christ Superstar. I think it was actually track 99. But track 01 and rewind was the bestway to get to it.

Robbie Williams' 'The ego has landed' had a funny hidden 'rant' directed toward his teacher.

Sister Machine Gun has the same thing on there album "Burn".

It's a industrial cover of a Door's song...I forget which one.

i've never liked the extra-track-after-several-blank-tracks method of hiding -- cuz the track isn't really hidden, it's just there after a bunch of silence. ooh.

however, The Roots made good on "hiding" a couple of tracks on Phrenology (and maybe Things Fall Apart too, but i haven't listened to it in a while) --> the 2 songs were in the 'countdown' to the last track on the album, which itself was like 4 seconds of silence. you have to sit through the silence of the previous track, then much silence of the countdown and then you'd get to the 2 songs. or you could skip to the last track and then back it up, but you'd be backing up about 10 minutes.

Rahzel's 1st album had a hidden track like that, too.

and i think i read that the X-files movie soundtrack has one of those rewind-at-track-one hidden tracks.
now that's cleverly hidden -- cuz who would go and start backing up the CD at the start of track 1?!??

AFI has a hidden track done that way before the first track of [Very Proud Of Ya].

At the drive-in had a secret track between 2 tracks on an album, can't remember what album or what tracks though.

 

[redshifter]

the 9" lp (uk version) of radiohead's kid a has a hidden isolated track at the end. one has to lift the stylus and drop it into the hidden track.

 

[hassy500]

If I remember correctly, Nine Inch Nails has two songs on Broken that are tracks 98 and 99.

 

[Nexus6]

On Kylie Minogue's Light Years, the hidden track (Password) is also 00, and can only be accessed by rewinding at the beginning of track 1.

 

[Helter Skelter]

They Might Be Giants' album Factory Showroom has a track like that, it's a minute (or so) long track titled Token Back to Brooklyn. I found it by accident, heh.

It eventually showed up in non-hidden form on a rarities/b-side collection which was titled They Got Lost.

How does a 00 track show when you put the CD into itunes or something? What about 98 or 99?

The record label Sogo Music has once used this trick to insert a 10-minute "catalog/sampler" into their CDs.
