And then there is the engaging phenomenon of the "historic mono recording" to 
which a stereo reverb is added during post-processing. I suspect that meters 
and graphs won't show much of a visual difference between the tracks, 
although one's ears will tell one right away that there is an audible 
difference.

(Why would anyone add stereo reverb to a piece labeled as "historic mono 
recording" is something I'm very much dying to ask the Australian 
Broadcasting Corp, who issued the CD in question - especially when a very 
clean, clear mono transfer has been commercially issued and is probably 
available for licensing...)
