Sound blead through on LP

Once in a while on the dead wax between tunes on an LP, I will hear a faint echo of the music one rotation of the LP ahead of where the needle actually is. I have always assumed this is a pressing issue that is caused by some slight distortion of the track from adjacent tracks when pressed. Is this correct or do I have something adjusted wrong in my cartridge/arm setup?

This is one of the few things inherent of vinyl, it's normal.

I think it's called "Pre-Echo" and is indeed a part of vinyl playback.

Yeah analog has some serious issues. This problem is easily audible between tracs but the fact is that "bleed" occurs all the time - right through an entire album (or analog tape).

Although, to be fair digital, has its share of issues too.
