Melt-banana's Charlie has one of those hidden pregap tracks accessed by rewinding back from the first track
"Blow On A Jug" at the end of Sabotage comes to mind.
Bill Ward playing a mean piano and he and Ozzy messing around. That song was an inside joke about Mungo Jerry going down very well at a large UK festival in 1970.
Not listed on the album and comes in at a very low volume a bit after "The Writ." Qualifies, I think.
FYI, I recently started using EAC (Exact Audio Copy) with which you can rip sections of files directly to mp3. I've used that feature several times to split lengthy tracks into multiple files or to eliminate hidden track nonsense, without first converting to WAV like I used to.
Yup, for a while there in the 90’s it seemed like every one was doing it. On Jimmy Buffett’s “Banana Wind” album after the main songs finish there are a few moments of silence and you hear Buffet talking to his producer about trying to find the hidden track (it is kind of funny), then he proceeds to do Stephen Still’s “Treetop Flyer” and is possibly the best track on the album.
Wasnt there a Monty Phyton album (LP) with two tracks running in parallel on each side - meaning it depended on where you put down the pickup which track you got.
Not actually hidden, and probably stated on the cover... but still...
Got the idea to google :
multi-groove was the word I was looking for

Yes, there were reportedly several records made that way. I think I heard of one with four parallel grooves!
At the very end of Sgt Pepper there was a short track that was not only hidden, it was inaudible unless you were a dog.
Yes, I own it. There is no tracklisting on the cover or label (although I think they added one for later copies). Adding to the confusion, both labels are labelled as side 2, although if you look closely there is also an "A" matrix code on one side and "B" on the other (the side with the double groove).
We did?
I only looked at the grooves when I wanted to position the stylus at the start of a track that was not track 1.Or if there was audible contamination and I wanted to try and localise it in the hope of cleaning the platter. One set of grooves looks much like another, if it's not full of scratches.
