It is adjacent groove wall bleed through, especially when cutters were pressured into using a low pitch to accommodate a long playing side and not using too much compression. It’s a compromise and an art to avoid it altogether, which is why some of the best remasters are now using two discs instead of one that allows a higher pitch with more space between groove walls. A classic example of this is The Yes Album’ opener, Yours Is No Disgrace.
Vinyl - Hearing The Beginning of the Song One Revolution Earler
When I listen to vinyl, I can hear (on some records) the beginning of the song very quietly in the background about one second (or one revolution) before it starts. Let's say a song starts with piano. I can hear very quietly in the background the beginning of the piano just before the song starts.
Do you hear the same in your system? And do you know why this is happening? Is my turntable not set up correctly? Or is it the sound the recording engineer hears ahead of the recording? Or is it something else? I think it happens exactly one revolution ahead but I am not absolutely sure about that.
