Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas”

I recently got the European version of Bing Crosby’s White Christmas CD from a local store here in Sweden, cat. no. MCD 18226. I discovered that this version is different from the US one; the European version seems to be based on a 1963 LP release of Merry Christmas , which is in “simulated stereo” and which has added reverb, while the US version is based on the 1955 release, which is in mono with no reverb.
