Everyone knows about hidden tracks on CD's. Just fast forward after the last song to reveal a hidden track.

But, has anyone ever heard of a hidden track at the START of a CD? I've only just been aware of it, as I was listening to the Jebediah J-Files, when a guy requested a song that was a hidden track at the start of the "Of Someday Shambles" album. The track wasn't too crash hot, but got me thinking:

Are there any other CD's that have hidden tracks at the start of CD's? I've started going through my collection, but found nothing yet.

Yeah, Kylie Minogues album 'Light Years' had one at the start.
You play the first song, rewind straight away, and its a totally different song! I was shocked at first aswell, now i check every cd i get for that secret song!

'Songs in the key of X' the X-Files cd has a hidden Dirty Three/Nick Cave song at the start. You have to rewind from the start of 'track 1'.

I have another cd which, when I play it from the start and show the 'album time', track 1 starts at about 1:15. I can't rewind though, so I don't know what's going on there. The CD is 'Bow Down to the Exit Sign' by David Holmes.
