Inner tracks vs outer tracks


Hi:
Given the differences in diameter, should there be differences in sound between the outside tracks and the inside tracks of an LP?

I read an interesting example of this on Peter Gabriel's "So" album. "In Your Eyes" was slated to the the last track on Side A, but Gabriel and engineer Daniel Lanois realized that because it was such a bass-heavy track, they would have to start off Side B with it as the bass is more pronounced on the outer part of the record than on the inner.

I don't know the acoustics/physics behind this, btw.
