with as much purity and effect as I had hoped. What I mean is that some of these songs, the hidden tracks, occur after a long silence – you don’t get the same suspense and surprise with them out of context (the feature’s title is a nod to how long it takes for the Nirvana song, Endless, Nameless, to arrive after Something in the Way). I have looked at the best hidden tracks from music. Some of them are obvious and much-heard – Her Majesty on Abbey Road, for example – whereas some, I’d imagine, are fairly new to the senses (a certain Oasis track might have slipped many by...). I have collected the tastiest hidden tracks from popular music – and listed the albums/E.P. they can be heard or (or were issued on re-releases or vinyl versions).
