Pregap : Joyeuses Pâques !

Dans la série "on en découvre tous les jours", je vous présente une petite histoire de pregap. Je ne sais pas comment ça peut se traduire en français. C'est la zone, sur un CD audio, située avant la première piste. Et elle contient parfois un morceau caché... Il est accessible en maintenant le bouton rwn enfoncé à partir du début du premier morceau, jusqu'au début du morceau caché. Je viens de tomber sur wikipedia sur une liste d'albums contenant des morceaux cachés de cette manière. Et dans le lot, j'en ai 9, que je suis en train de réécouter les uns après les autres !

Je recopie la liste ici :
