Hidden Tracks on Vinyl
I almost went crazy trying to find Lene Lovich's "I Think We're Alone Now" sung in Japanese in my record collection. (When I was a college DJ I used to pan back in forth between the verses with the English version.) I did a Google search but could not find a record I had it on. I knew I didn't have it on a 45. I went through every compilation album I had and couldn't find it listed anywhere. I had thought it was on "The Last Stiff Compilation Album - Until The Next One" but it wasn't listed on the cover. I took a look at the album and found that there were 8 tracks on side 1 but only 7 listed and then I remembered that that's were the Lene Lovich track was. On the insert in the album there is info on each song and there is a spot where everything is in Japanese.
Leave it to Stiff to invent the Hidden track. Does anybody know of any others?
btw - I like "hidden tracks" on cd's as long as they are not too hidden. It really sucks when you have to wait or scan through 5-10 minutes of silence for a hidden song. Can't they just put them on their own track right after the last listed song? Not listing them on the cd anywhere is hidden enough for me.
