Flip flopped orchestra?


Last night while listening to an LP of "1812 Overture" I've owned since the 70's and heard countless times, I was struck by how crappy it sounded (RCA/Victor red label), and that the violins were on the right side of the sound field, and the cellos and basses were on the left! Imagine my dismay! After all these years I JUST noticed? Huh?! Anyone else ever notice something similar? Could this have anything to do with the often discussed polarity/phase issue?
