Endless grooves

I think an endless groove at the end of either side of a record is a cool little detail, but I always seem to forget what albums have them. Here are some I've come across again lately:Archie Shepp "Things Have Got To Change" - side 2, bleepy synths, kind of like the sound of a data transfer.Merit Hemmingson "Trollskog" - side 2, sound of the wind through the troll forest.Lenny White "Venusian Summer" - side 1, music loop, deceptively low in the mix.I guess this only pertains to people with manual turntables, but please bring on some more???

Slayer - Reign in Blood, the gentle sounds of raining blood from a lacerated sky!
Rites of Spring - Rites of Spring, Stravinski dude
Vanguard Squad 45
Beatles - Sgt Peppers (the infamous babbling at the end of side 2)
Eagles (yeh, choice, I know) - Live (endless audience applause at end of side 2)
SG
The reissue is hilarious (think it's on SST??) because he talks about how he was totally unhappy with the looping characteristics of the original pressings' lock groove.
You just ask yourself... really? huh? he actually cared what a repeating groove of a tape loop sounded like? wow. deep.
oh yeah:
That is so arrogant.
