Topic: Hidden Tracks

I wasn’t sure whether to post this on Other Artists or O/T. Other Artists won. smile

Other than Mother Love, how many CDs have hidden tracks at the end. I was listening to Walter Trout’s Positively Beale Street yesterday and left it running at the end to be highly amused by the untitled piece around 60 seconds after the final track. It’s Walter and the band fooling around in the studio playing the sort of tune that wouldn’t be out of place in a circus. It’s only a short track but it really brought a smile to my face as Walter and the guys were in hysterics at the end.

There are other CDs with hidden tracks and it would be nice to compile a list. Does anyone know of any others?

Duncan, isn’t there one on one of Aynsley’s albums?

I think there's a couple, Identity Blues appears on Everything I Need at the end of the CD (track was also on the Aynsley Lister album), and there's an acoustic piece several minutes after the storming version of All Or Nothing.
A couple of others I can think of are North Mississippi Allstars Shake Hands With Shorty, a cover of a Robert Johnson song appears at the end of the album, I think from memory its Up Jump The Devil.
There is also a traditional blues song at the end of the Hoax Humdinger re-release. Sounds like they were drunk when they did it!  I'm sure there must be more...

Re: Hidden Tracks

Duffy Bishop has several of those unlisted/hidden tracks at the end of her CD's.
