Last track to go on the album and interesting to see what nominations come up.
Ghost Track is one of those tracks that appears on a vinyl album but is not included in the sleeve or label tracklisting!!

It can be a whole song added on the end ala Train In Vain on London Calling or maybe a reprise of an earlier track or instrumental version.

As long as it is not mentioned anywhere on the track list or label it is in play*!!!


*subject to Stewards approval. This does not include tracks from albums where sleeve / label etc.. were left intentionally blank for artistic reasons.

It was. They managed to etch "Track 5 is Train In Vain" into the run-out groove though.

Geez, not a ton of options here. The only one that comes to mind is R.E.M.'s (duh) "Untitled" off Green. Far from excellent, but beggars and choosers and all that.

Cool because you know there's people just waiting to nominate Blur and their fellow travelers.

I'm only nominating Quixotic no-voters from now on, because I have plenty of UK new wave 1977-1982 comps.
