Ghost repeats during vinyl playback


Hello all,

So, in a few instances (CSN first lp; Bill Evans "Portrait in Jazz", a few others), I've detected a ghost echo of a certain instrumental phrase or sequence of notes - like, Bill Evans might play a certain run of 4-5 notes, and I;d hear through the right speaker that same run, only fainter, echoed a half-second later.

What causes this? Would the ghost run be a first take that never was overdubbed or edited out in completion? Is it a print-through from the analog tape? This isn't a skip by any means; the groove continues to spiral in at 33 1/3.

Hope all's well,
