The pregap on a Red Book audio CD is the portion of the audio track that precedes "index 01" for a given track in the table of contents (TOC). The pregap ("index 00") is typically two seconds long and usually, but not always, contains silence. Popular uses for having the pregap contain audio are live CDs, track interludes, and hidden songs in the pregap of the first track (detailed below).
A list of albums with tracks hidden in the pregap can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_albums_with_tracks_hidden_in_the_pregap
