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.

Thank you for all the responses. 

I have been making some changes to my system that made it much more resolving with a much quieter background. This is when this "echo" effect became really noticeable. I hear this on some of my best sounding records, some old but others are new releases from the original master tapes (I guess thats' the keyword :)) where a lot of attention to details is applied. My main concern really was if there is something wrong in my turntable set up, especially because it seems it happens around one revolution early. But it does not seem that is the case.
