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.

Remember the Shelby Lynne album, "Just a Little Lovin’" that was an homage to Dusty Springfield? The initial release on Lost Highway was horrible, but Chad re-did it a while ago. A profound amount of pre-echo, to the extent it almost sounds deliberate. Top people involved in producing, mixing and mastering-- the late great Phil Ramone, Al Schmitt, and Doug Sax. First issued when Chad was still using RTI to press, reissued (probably no change in mastering) when Chad set up QRP. It was an "audiophile" type demo record several years ago.
