It's not taken from the vinyl, it is the vinyl
But yea, similar to tape print through, some of the hot cutter head action being transferred to the spiral groove already cut. Seems like MoFi would have recut it if it was that bad, but maybe not. In the old days the mastering engineer had to manually adjust the groove spacing on the lathe based on the sound from the preview head. It was an art. But most have used a computer and digital delay line since the 80s, which is why most vinyl goes through a digital stage. Some mastering houses still use an analog preview and digitize that for the computer. Much better.
