What is the issue when you can hear the upcoming music in-between quiet passages on an LP? Is there a specific name for it? Is it just a pressing issue, and/or could it also be an issue with a needle? I did a little Google-ing but I haven't found the answer yet.
I agree with you on this theory Kennythekey, which would leave me to theorize that the last lap of the groove at the center of the lp should be the quietest groove on the record.
Some copies of original editions have it too. I have three copies of Bitches Brew but only one of them has it. At least I hear nothing on the other two.
The most common source of the "problem" IS tape print through. You can hear it on CD reissues of music that was originally recorded to tape where the producers of the CD do minimal or no processing in the remastering process. Good examples are the incredibly well done, though expensive, Esoteric XRCDs.
Thanks for the responses everyone. I'm hearing it on Chick Corea/Return to Forever LP, ECM1022. It's from 1972, looks original but I could be wrong? I noticed the sax prior to it playing, between quiet passages, during "Crystal Silence".
