I'm hearing things


I wonder if anyone can explain why this happens. Between tracks I sometimes hear the start of the next track before it happens! I hear a very faint rendition of the first bar before the music-proper comes in. It's kind of ghistly and rather disconcerting! This is only discernable when I listen to a record with the volume quite high and I don't think it's with every record I own.

What causes this? Is this a fault or feature with the record pressing itself or due to some incorrent alignment/setup?

Any help, very much appreciated. Thanks.

That was done on purpose--it's on my original copy and every one I've heard out there. Same sort of effect, though.

Worst print-through I had was an audiophile re-issue of the Proprius album Cantate Domino, which sounded like it had a continuous pre-echo on the whole album.

Check it out, man:

Read down towards the bottom - "...backward echo..."

(shweeeeet)

Rock on,

Ok, since we're talking Led Zep and I'm a fan, which vinyl pressing would you recommend? Which one sounds the best? Cheers, Nick.
