Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland BR Center channel almost empty

The whole process looks normal, without errors, but the resulting FLAC multichannel files when played do not resemble original music.
Good example is track 15 - All Along The Watchtower and track - 2. Both use phasing effects to maximum.
Jimi's guitar disappears when moved between left front and right front. Like there was no center channel.
I checked with Audacity, and Center channel has almost nothing, very short of crosstalk in the middle of the song.
When downmixed to 2 channels strangely it seems like everything is there.
My only assumption is that the track is manipulated in MCH in such a way that is hidden, but reappears in 2ch downmix.
