This is unrelated really, but I remember listening to LP's, and hearing
a foreshadowing of each song during the gap between songs. I realized that
the 'silent' portion of the groove was being slightly altered by the loud
part adjacent to it. You could even watch as the record spun, and the song
started at the same rotation position as the foreshadowing started.
That's a cutting error rather than tape print-through.
How do YOU know the difference?
If it's print-through on the master, it will be synchronized with the
rotation rate of the supply reel, not with the rotation rate of the LP.
Also, if the master is properly wound-tails out, print-through causes mostly
post-echo while groove deformation causes mostly pre-echo.
