Hey, I'm one of today's ten thousand! I don't think any of my LPs have a hidden groove but I want one now!

My Easter egg musical experience was with a CD, Guster's Keep it Together. I was the first person in the family to get an mp3 player, and when I ripped the CD I found a minute long "Silent Track" before a hidden song, Two at a Time. When we saw them live next and I knew the lyrics to that song my parents were baffled lol.

    Hidden grooves on records were not terribly common, as far as I am aware. I have Tool’s Undertow (which — if you have the CD version — you have already heard it) and a Monty Python record Tie and Handkerchief.

    Not a terribly strong argument to preserve a format because I have no motivation to revisit either, but a fun little one time experience if you have either of those handy.

    And for CDs, before the zero mark, there could be data. I think the X-Files TV show soundtrack had a couple of songs if you inserted the disc and immediately rewound before the starting zero. Like, in minus time. The table of contents apparently didn’t care about minus numbers.
