this is often called pre-echo and is a property of the individual
record you play.  the grooves are not really independent of each 
other and during cutting, one groove can slightly deform a previously
cut groove enough to produce the pre-echo.  putting grooves too
close together or using inferior vinyl can cause this, though groove
spacing is the primary reason.  i'm sure that there will be lots of
articles that will point out this to you.
