There is also one on the CD version of You've Got Foetus On Your Breath's
_Deaf_.  It runs for about 10 minutes.

There's a 3" CD on Mego (I don't own this one yet) by Pure called "The End
Of Vinyl," which is apparently built from remixing run-out grooves from
various records.

On the vinyl side, I just got a recent lock-groove effort, Stock Hausen &
Walkman's "Buy Me/Sue Me" 7".  42 grooves on each side.  It's pretty cool,
each locked groove containing a sample of a recording with the word "me" in
it, along with some music.  Appropriately, one of the loops on the "Sue Me"
side is from "Come Together," which brings us back to The Beatles.  :-)  It
is *really* hard to distinguish the grooves on clear vinyl, though.
