The beginning fade-in is just an effort to make a smooth transition
between total silence and the track noise that starts before the first
recorded sound begins.

Ah, right, so it is a background noise thing. I suppose it makes sense: my
thirty-years-dimmed memories of vinyl records says that they generally had
long pauses before the music started, unlike CDs and cassettes (but this
could well be inaccurate).
