TIL there's a hidden track on The Beatles' White Album that most people missed

I was digging through my dad's old vinyl collection last weekend and found a beat up copy of The White Album. While listening through side 4, I hit the end groove and realized there's this weird 23-second loop of gibberish called 'Revolution 9' that leads into a tiny snippet of a song nobody talks about. Turns out it's Paul McCartney saying 'Number 9' over and over, and my dad said that was a secret hidden thing for people with old turntables that auto-repeated. Has anyone else stumbled on a hidden track from an old album that surprised you?

Found it years ago on a bootleg CD. It's interesting how those little secrets make you slow down and actually listen, kind of like finding a hidden nook in a familiar room. Reminds me that most things worth discovering take a bit of patience these days.

Wait, you're saying Revolution 9 is considered a "hidden track" and not just experimental stuff?
