It has come to my attention that some prog bands promote other bands and sometimes allow them to keep name association as some kind of elusive tribute/new experience under their name.

Take for example Caravan. 

Whenever i search Caravan in youtube or spotify there was always this album under their name. 


I love this album. It is arty, sexy, proggy, fresh, angry, and very much Caravan (even if its not) 

Not so much unlike None of Your Business. 

Waiting for a reply from Caravan :D
I'm sorry, if you were right, I'd agree with you. Robin Williams.

Purely by coincidence, just before reading your post, I came across this secret heavy Blues-Rock album by Camel (but not Thee Camel) from 1969. Smile

Very good album, first heard this about twenty years ago.Be interesting to know if successful, what the more famous Camel, would have been called!.Wonder what happened to this band, did they become someone else?

I'd say it's more obscure than "secret" and not a Prog band, but RYM has some informations about it:

Probably not prog but there was a UK band called Iron Maiden who put out one album in 1970. The much more well known Iron Maiden mentioned them on their website with a link to that other Iron Maiden. 

There was also a US band from the late 70s called Asia. Apparently the other Asia (again much more well known) forced them to break up.

Don't know about these easter-eggs you speak of but there were some cool 'secret' albums back when.  Largely private releases... if you know what I mean
