Stop with the secret tracks already

Just taken delivery of Mansun's final (re-union tours notwithstanding) album: Kleptomania - a 3 CD collection comprising the unfinished tracks for their aborted 4th album, fan-voted B-side and EP tracks and a collection of previously un-released tracks. Some fine tracks there, included the stuff meant for the album... pity they split up sad

The last track on the unfinished album has one of those "secret" tracks where there's five minutes or so of silence in the middle of the last, noticably ... except it's fifteen minutes of silence before the second track kicks in. This is very annoying when you've ripped the CD so you can play it through your Karma and have to sit through the fifteen minutes of silence blasting out of the car stereo. This can lead to you hoping for a traffic jam so you have time to fast forward, which is a Very Bad Thing™

The last track on the rarities CD though, goes even further and adds three "secret" tracks where I thought there was a 24-minute live jam version of Taxlo$$.

Oh... and the CDs have that stupid not-a-real-CD-instead-its-full-of-errors copy "protection", so you'll need something like EAC to rip (Fast mode works well).
