Probably a case of bleed-though when the original tape was mastered to
vinyl (which would seem to indicate that the original tape sat around
for a while before it was finally made into album form. I'm guessing
this was "cleaned up" when remastered to digital. Which to me is a bit
of a pity.

Of course, I could be totally wrong, too...
