How CD Pregaps Gained Their Hidden Track Superpowers

I had that CD and remember the short tracks but never thought of playing it on shuffle that way.

I think it was nine inch nails' Broken EP that had the hidden tracks on 98/99 rather than after a long silence, but I could be wrong.

I think it tells you in the liner notes that you should use the shuffle button.

My copy in the UK at the time didn’t have the individual tracks. Just one track.

Broken was first released as a 2-disc set. It was still in a many-fold Digipak case, but also included was a 3" mini-CD that had Suck and Physical (You're So).

The regular-sized CD looked about identical to the 99-track version, but had only 6 tracks.

(It was expensive to do this, and was never intended for long-term production. Later versions were generally as you describe.)
