The blurb on the back of this album says that RCA invented electronically reprocessed "stereo".
I just listened to this LP thru Dolby Pro-Logic 2 music mode, I don't know the specifics of what RCA did to give mono originals "stereophonic characteristics", it doesn't sound too weird (i. e. bass in one channel, midrange+treble in the other) in stereo or synthesized surround sound.
edit - more about the RCA system:

Anyone else have any electronically reprocessed stereo (probably only LPs) using the systems the other record companies used (and listened to them in synthesized surround sound - SM - DPL2 - DTS neo etc.)?
