In Reply to: A question if I could posted by Ted Smith on January 25, 2007 at 11:17:28:
What you're hearing is likely "pre-echo." That can occur as a mastering defect if the cutting pitch wasn't expanded enough. Normally, at the beginning of each track the pitch is supposed to be overly coarse (lots of land between the grooves) to minimize pre-echo. Pre-echo can also occur as a pressing defect, particularily if the vinyl press is set up with too much pressing pressure on the "biscuit" of vinyl.You could also be experiencing "print-through" from the original analog tape if that was the source for the recording in question. You'll hear print-through a lot on older analog tapes with no noise reduction or that were recorded too "hot" to tape. Frequently, just being stored for a long time - and perhaps with too tight of a tape wind - the print-through occurs.
