Not quite- no.

Google 'print-through'.

it's similar to how tapes used to be high speed copied.

The signal bleeds from one layer of the tape to the next, over time.

On audio, the effect starts as pre-echo, and is minimised by spooling though occasionally, to shake things up a bit, and by storing tail out... IIRC, with the mag layer facing out...or in- whichever was better.

Like water down a hole-

I imagine that it would start off going straight in, but the slightest unbalance to one side or the other (or the other...3 dimentions...) would impart a rotary or orbital component, which would lead to the usual spiral...
