   Adding artificial stereo, including stereo reverb to a   
   single-micorophone monophonic recording would ruin the purity and   
   beauty of the recording technique. If one wants stereo, one should   
   start by recording in stereo.   
      
   On the other hand, search for "accidental stereo" for many   
   interesting results!

   Not quite. With The Beatles, they probalby re-mixed the original   
   multichannel tapes (or their copies, for magnetic tapes have to be   
   copied once in 20 years or so, losing quality!) in stereo by   
   panning some or all of the channels more or less off-center. It not   
   true, time-based stereo, but its loudness-based surrogate.   
      
   I have both of those orange-blue Beatles box sets where the first   
   half of each CD has a sequence of mono tracks and the second half --   
   a sequence of corresponding stereo tracks. Whereas my loudspeaker is   
   monophonic, I never listened to the stereo half :-)
