faint precession of sound on vinyl


On some records during some quiet passages you can hear the faint traces of upcoming sounds softly precede their emergence. Has anyone noticed this? What is this effect?

It's called pre-echo. The signal engraved on the adjacent groove wall is actually "read" by the passing stylus;though at a greatly reduced amplitude.At least that's the way I've understood it.
