almightyseancore Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 so i finally got around to picking up a copy of Tool's Opiate, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the secret song on the cd is a hidden groove on side b track 1, and ends on a locked groove. but the other track on B1 plays through the locked groove and onto a track after it. i have a dillinger escape plan 7" that does this too, and also contains a backwards track on B2 where you actually have to put the needle by the label, and it kinda sucks the needle backwards through the record. anyone else have any cool stories about these? really makes you appreciate the technology that is the vinyl record.

plasma36 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 The first side of Oneida's "Rated O" ends with a locked groove of the noisey drone. It went for maybe three minutes before I realized it was locked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchashorttime Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 glassjaw's "so you think you're (john fucking lennon)" begins with a locked groove of the intro drum beat. pretty anti-climactic, but a cool addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryq Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 my old sony record player would often get "locked" in a groove... best instances were 1) the Lawrence Arms "Greatest Story..." during the laughing part between Hesitation Station and the Revisionist. even the record was laughing about my crappy player!! 2) Bad Religion's s/t 7", in what I think is the song "Bad Religion", when there's the little bit of drums and guitar and then Greg shouts "Fight!" in both instances, I literally listened to and recorded the record for at least 30 seconds before realizing what was happening... "how long are those kids gonna laugh for?" and "geez, he really wants to fight..." and yes, I realize this isn't what the thread is about, but oh well, it's fun to listen to [do-do do do do] fight! [do-do do do do] fight! [do-do do do do] fight! [do-do do do do] fight! [do-do do do do] fight! [do-do do do do] fight! [do-do do do do] fight! [do-do do do do] fight! [do-do do do do] fight!

What Dillinger record is that? it's a live 4 song EP called "cursed, unshaven, and misbehavin'" edit: someone above beat me to it. but yeah, it even comes with a little slip of paper warning the owner that it might not work on their turntable.

harby Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Blind To Faith "The Seven Fat Years..." LP is a reverse groove playing from the label out. I think that's the only album I have that does anything interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dethrock Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 A Wilhelm Scream "A Wilhelm Scream" 12", the B-side plays from the label out. Zombie Apocalypse "This Is A Spark Of Life" 7" also plays from the label out. My turntables arm auto-returns and for this 7" I can't play the first song on either side because it starts to close to the label and the arm just goes back.

gabpower Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I had the Bouncing Souls box set and all the 4 7" had locked grooves between songs. Fucking annoying. I think I saw one from Third Man Records where there is a song on the label itself (you need a manual TT). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almightyseancore Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Less Than Jake's Slayer 7" plays from the inside out, right? the secret track at the end of AFI's Black Sails In The Sunset is behind a locked groove, i think i had my needle stuck in that thing for about 2 hours once before i noticed. also the end of every disc in the Francis The Mute 3xLP is a locked groove with some rad riff or drum beat thats looped, it helps make up for the fact that some of the songs are cut off by the end of one side, and continue on the next side.
