Even though the program itself was very limited, I think the fact that this was something a band took the time and effort to do back in '84, is pretty cool. Must've been a surreal moment for Dan to see his late fathers easter egg finally run.

I'm curious if any other vinyls have hidden data or messages like this in the runouts.



The runout to Sgt Pepper is preceeded by sound only audible to dogs.

Monty Python released a triple sided record. One of the sides had two grooves. Depending on where you placed the needle, you would hear either side 2 or 3.


There's video about looped run-outs and multiple groves as well: https://youtu.be/yIoAYU_r0Uk


The six sides of the three record album 'Sandinista!' had a quote from the movie Alien written in the runout, "IN SPACE ... NO ONE ... CAN ... HEAR ... YOU ... CLASH!"

Not a program, but I remember being oddly satisfied when I noticed it the first or second time I played it.
