Neil Young News: Hidden "Hidden" Track on Sugar Mountain

Hidden "Hidden" Track on Sugar Mountain

There appears to be a super secret hidden "hidden" track on Sugar Mountain.

In TW comments recently (which lunar_tunes on Rust pointed out), if you pop the CD in your PC, there's a download link for the track "#1 Hit Song Rap".

Of course, the track is so hidden that most folks can't seem to find it. So here's a spoiler tip -- go to Neil Young Download Page.

The rap is quite hilarious and another astonishing premonition of what would come over the next 40 years.

SML seems to be doing pretty well and is still rising to 18 15 14 on Amazon.com Bestsellers (updated hourly).

Here's some of the best of Sugar Mountain reviews that folks are raving about.

Can somebody let me know how to find it on a Mac?
Tried it earlier today a couple of times. No result.

sorry archives guy, but you do need to be standing on one leg, pressing every button counter clockwise, and with a full moon and a strong wind behind you to find it..

archives guy be dammed!

Makes a lot of sense.

How did you come to this conclusion since no one has ever heard this show before?

At 12/08/2008 07:56:00 PM, Anonymous said...: I know where it came in the original shows from Ghosts on the Road. Check it out, lots of useful info there.

The "Canterbury House" bonus Archives trailer is NOT the same one that's been running at www.repriserecords.com/neilarchives/ for the past 6 months or so.
It's a completely new trailer.

At 12/12/2008 05:18:00 AM, Anonymous said...: In my opinion "#1 Hit Song Rap" fits in perfectly between "Birds" and "Winterlong (excerpts)"...

I think "I Am A Child" should be the encore. (Shame on Neil to have it left out from the "in stores" version of the album...).

At 12/18/2009 11:40:00 PM, Anonymous said...: anybody know where I could get a download for this I would love to hear it. when I click the link it says the contest is over if anyone can help that would be great.
