Machine Head SACD strange issue

[Lucanu]

Guys, just a question about this title
I have bought SACD version and it contains the original UK quad mix, but I notice it has all channels swapped, that is LF swapped with RF and LB swapped RB.
You can tell it during Smoke on the water intro where the guitar riff is LB in SACD and RB in SQ version.
Is it just me?
I checked my setup and it's correctly connected and double checked with SACD and DVD of Genesis A Trick Of The Tail and they play ok.

I don't think it is you. My SACD has the riff you mention in the rear and the DVD-A has it in the front.

Yes but SACD and DVD-A have different mix, where DVD-A is a brand new mix and SACD the original UK quad. My problem is that SACD sounds as if it is "mirrored" with "lefts" swapped with "rights".

Is your guitar intro in the left rear or right rear?

SACD: Left Rear
DVD-A: Left Front

Thanks splinter,

now the last question is:
was the SACD mixed with channels swapped or was the SQ/Q8 done that way?
My SQ copy was pressed in Australia...
