"Train In Vain" was the 'secret song' from The Clash's classic 1979 album London Calling

Describing how, at the time, some people thought the song to be a hidden album track, sound engineer for The Clash, Bill Price said:

"Train in Vain was the last song we finished after the artwork went to the printer. A couple of Clash Web sites describe it as a hidden track, but it wasn’t intended to be hidden. The sleeve was already printed before we tacked the song on the end of the master tape.
