It's certainly thinkable that they did their own stereo-izations with Kuechenmeister's one-channel-delay method for the German (and Continental European) market. The tracks I have heard certainly do *not* use the bass/treble split and extra echo described by dl .

Unless there's another dl around here, I didn't make any reference to split 'n' 
echo (US Decca's usual system..occasionally I've had to find one clean channel 
and do massive EQ to get something listenable where this was the only source 
available).
