I said maybe.....
I'm sure I've got something which ends like that, but since I haven't played any of my vinyl LPs for about 20 years I can't remember what it is.
Not the same thing, but I'm thinking of that time in the 90s when people realised CDs could contain 79 minutes of music. So the final track would end.... then you'd have 10 minutes of silence... then it would blast out with an extra bit of music just as you were nodding off.
IIRC the Arcade Fire album before the most recent had something in the run-out groove.
That first Royksopp album had something a bit mental - Audio CDs can have tracks with negative timecode. You might have noticed some tracks start at -0m01s. This is because in the old days, when you quickly skipped through tracks not all HI-Fis were quick enough to start playing sound right away and would cut off the first half second of the track. If the sound started straight away you'd miss the first beat. So the Audio CD spec (Called "Redbook") allows for a count in to give the Hifi time to latch on to the audiostream.
Well the first track on that Royksopp album had a 45 second count in before 0m00s which had a hidden track on it. You couldn't even hear it on some stereos, others you had to press play then rewind back to -0m45s!
When it was bounced to MP3 on Windows Media Player I remember it just made the track 45 seconds longer than the CD reported it as.

Spotify, Apple et al
The great thing about ripping them to your computer is that you can get rid of all this crap with an mp3 editor.

I don't have much odd stuff, I guess the next oddest is a fluorescent green Fuzztones 12" and a cherry red Talking Heads album. Oh and a shaped 7" of The Cramps' Bikini Girls With Machine Guns, and I think I've still got the green square Gin Blossoms 7" Hey Jealousy. And a couple of picture dicsc.
My feedback thread is here.
They are popular on scratch tools, commonly known as locked or sealed grooves. Like the record above.
You can also do it yourself using a sticker, if you have the time and you place it properly. You can get the sticker to bump the needle back into the previous groove(s) so that the same part of the tune plays over and over.
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
