It can be strange, you just need to try and get a new perception, especially if you have seen a group live.
I saw the Hot Sardines, a Jazz group, wonderful, live, wide stage. Piano right end, Trombone left end (behind Christmas Tree actually). Drums, sax, trumpets, upright bass, all spread in a line, behind Singer right of center, Tap Dancer left of center.
Loved them, bought this double album, 1 disc Live from Toronto; 2nd Live from Joe's Pub, NYC.

I know Joes Pub, been there many times, put that disc on first
Huh? Everything is reversed. I know the stage is smaller width and depth, but Piano clearly on the left, singer off center Left.
Checked the date, it turns out Donna was there at that performance with her twin sister. Yes, she says, the Piano was on the left.
here's a video of them at Joes Pub, piano left

Second listen of LP, knowing it was correct, real, I could push my prior memory out and enjoy (accept) the imaging my system presented. These are excellent recordings, I highly recommend them.
One nice feature of McIntosh vintage equipment, is their Mode Switch, Stereo, Reverse Stereo, Mono, and other shifts of channels that are very helpful with final balancing of your system. Reverse Stereo, you could simply put it 'right' as you wish.
btw, it is possible the original was reverse of reality, the re-issue correct.
