It’s in the runout groove on (I think) the B side. Mine’s tucked away as well and it’s been too long to remember for sure. There’s nothing much there, just a bunch of people laughing and talking at once, rather like at a party. I remember having to disable the auto-off feature on my changer to hear more than a moment of it before the needle was lifted.

It’s called " Your house," and it happens to be my favorite song of hers. It used to annoy me before I got my stereo, since my portable cd player wouldn’t fastforward through tracks, so I’d have to listen to the song on the track it shares to hear it.
Better than Ezra has bonus tracks on Deluxe and Friction Baby. Cool For August has hidden song on the end of Grand World, but if as many as 5 other dopers knew who they were I’d die of shock. ** Poe** has one on the end of Hello that’s just her telling people that they should leave. A site http://www.turbine.com/oddcd/ I just looked at claimed that Everclear’s Afterglow has " I’ll be hating you for christmas" on the cd, yet I don’t think I’ve ever heard it while playing the cd…I know that I have other cds with hidden tracks, but I can’t remember which.
The song at the end of Pearl Jam’s Ten is called “Master/Slave”, so the fact it has a name which isn’t listed anywhere on the sleeve suggests that it is an actual hidden track, not just the last part of “Release” (the last song). BTW, On the Japanese version, it’s listed as “?”.
The Willie Nelson tribute record Twisted Willie has a hidden track before the start of track 1, which is an interview with Johnny Cash about Willie - it’s not that interesting though, as it’s basically the same as the liner notes of the album.
Mr Bungle’s great Disco Volante album has a thoroughly worthless sorta bonus track, which sounds like a garage band stuffing around. I think it’s listed inside, but not indexed or listed on the back.
Everclear’s “I’ll be Hating You For Christmas” is a great song. I had the CD in my car for a while, and I kept forgetting it was on there, so the CD would go off and I wouldn’t realize I was driving along in silence, and then that song would kick in.
HenrySpencer- The fact that it actually is titled is why I called it a “hidden” track, but then if you think about it, it’s not really hidden, just uncredited. I don’t know.
Hidden tracks on CDs are one of my biggest pet peeves. I hate, hate, HATE them. Did I mention that I hate them? In fact I’d like to find the first person that did that and blow his head off with a shotgun!!! Who was it, anyway? Nirvana? Oh…umm, nevermind. 
Even worse are those tracks “hidden” by placing them on track #69 (how original) with dozens of short, silent tracks between them and the rest of the CD. Forget about playing those CDs on shuffle mode, folks!!!
As for truly ingenious hidden tracks – Course of Empire’s Initiation has two of 'em. The first is called “Running Man” and is placed on track zero, so you have back up from track one to play it (as described earlier in this thread.) The second is called “Tomorrow” and comes during a horrible 4-minute burst of ear-splitting feedback on track #10. It’s recorded “out of phase” so you need a mono CD player to hear it, or rewire your speakers in a bizarre way that I was always too scared to try.
There’s a hidden song on Stephen Lynch’s CD A Little Bit Special, and I think he may have hidden it for a reason. If you’ve never heard Lynch’s stuff, he’s a comedy musician. He has a great voice and I think he’s quite talented, but he chooses themes for his songs that are, well, harsh.
Anyway. The hidden track is a song called “Kill A Kitten.” He’s received so much flak for the lyrics that he had to remove them from his webpage.
I don’t know if that tracks any worse than some of his other songs… Special Fred, for example
<hijack>
I love him…or at least have a serious celebrity-crush on him. He’s funny, twisted, and very attactive to boot. What’s not to love?

I don’t have my Sgt. Pepper LP copy handy to check this. It would be interesting if anyone has a CD version of the album to see if that can be heard near the end.
But it sounds like you are defining anything that appears after your pickup arm is lifted as a “hidden” track. So how do you know that everyone’s arm is lifted at the same place? And what makes you think the Beatles didn’t intend for the average listener to hear it? Otherwise, it’s just a long record and your automatic pickup is set for short ones.
I remember a classical record once that always quit prematurely on my turntable. But I doubt that Beethoven planned it as a hidden track. 
The CD version of SPLHCB has the hidden track. The tape does not.
The Aquabats loads their cds with hidden surprises. Often or not the hidden ones are some of their best work.
An earlier thread on hidden tracks can be found here.
Now that hidden tracks are so commonly found, perhaps we should start a list of albums that DON’T have them at all…
Interesting. On the CD, is it a separate track number as shown on your player, but not mentioned in the printed documentation? How long is it?
Inquiring minds want to know!
I too hate the hidden tracks. Well, I don’t mind them per se, but I do mind them when they obnoxiously impede shuffle mode or worse, put a huge chunk of blank space in a song. There’s no decent reason to do that.
Dramarama, on their “Vinyl” CD, has a track called “Steve is Here” which is about a minute long. Instead onf one track clocking at one minute, though, iot’s about 60 tracks each a second long. So as it plays, the track counter increases, not the time. Fun. And a real bitch on shuffle mode.
As for the “track zero” tracks, Mono Puff (a TMBG side project) has a truly frightening one called “Hidden Track” on their “It’s Fun to Steal” CD. It’s bizarre, with an electronic voice saying, “Help. I am trapped in the hidden track. It’s cold and dark here. All of my friends are gone.”
IF bands want to put an unlisted track on a CD, that’s fine, but don’t make me play games to hear it, and don’t screw up my possibilities in enjoying your CD to hear it.
buckgully, how did you manage to rip a track 0? What software do you use? I’ve been trying to rip the 0 tracks on some of my CDs, like Less Than Jake’s Losing Streak.
evilyam, could you hear it? Then you can rip it!
If all else fails, run the preamp output from a Hi-Fi CD player into your sound card and capture the sound. Works always, even on “protected” CDs.
Not the first choice, but always a backup method.
Travis slipped a few onto The Invisible Band . They are not heard unless you let the CD keep going for a few minutes after the last regular track.
I dug this CD outta storage, and replayed it a bit earlier. It actually is on its own (unlisted) track, 13. There’s about 20-30 seconds of silence at the beginning of the track itself, though. Dunno if this copy’s a first or third or whatever ‘printing’ of the CD, so YMMV.
Oh, and Musicat: That Mad magazine record was “Makin’ Out,” wasn’t it? I think. Or possibly it was the ‘burping song’, which I cannot for the life of me recall any more clearly than that.
Damn. I’d completely forgotten about those until this thread.
[sub]And do you have any of the “monster cereals” records, from the back of the boxes, way back when? Count Chocula, and that gang? I’ve been trying to find copies/mp3s/for sale cheap of those blasted things for years now.[/sub]
I think the burping song was earlier, and not a multi-track gimmick record. The multi-track might have been Makin’ Out, but I can’t remember.
I just went downstairs and found the box of 30 Eva-Tone sound sheets or so, but couldn’t find the Mad one, damn. It must exist only in my memory.
That isn’t in my collection, either. Sorry – I must have been addicted to the wrong cereal!
The multi-track Mad recording was called something like “It’s a Big Bright Beautiful Day”.
I usually use itunes under mac os X, but when that doesn’t work (like for that cd) I use cdparanoia under linux.
It does a lot more than most other rippers. It can work around a lot of problems that other rippers have problems with, like scratched or damaged discs, or (as I’ve be told) discs with certain kinds of copy protection.
