I own three:

They Might Be Giants - Factory Showroom
Various Artists - Chiky(u)u
Various Artists - Songs In The Key Of X

The last two actually hinted at the rewind track in their respective liner
notes.  The TMBG disc didn't mention it at all.

As for how you discover them, if your CD player takes a split-second longer to
find the beginning of a CD in order to play it, it usually means one of two
things: the disc has many tracks, or there's something "before the
beginning."  99 times in 100 it means the first thing, but you never know...
if I hear that delay, I always check.
