Sometimes, when I get an album with lots of run-in grooves (or, like in case of George Harrison's, "Wonderwall Music" or King Crimson's, "U.S.A.", which both start playing IN the run-in grooves), I'll try to start the needle at the VERY edge of the record and let it ride up over the rise and back down into the playing surface and, it sounds very clean for the first revolution until it hits the top of the rise where the sound gets horrible for a couple seconds before it cleans up, again. Why does the sound get so bad in just that one area, even when the record has just come out of a sealed cover? What's in the groove in that one revolution to make it sound so bad??
