Stereotape/Audio Arts question

Posted by michael22 on July 5, 2016 at 20:21:19:
I just obtained my second Stereotape/Audio Arts 2-track prerecorded tape. This was recorded in 1956 in Los Angeles. Written on the box: "Stereotape should be reproduced through balanced amplifiers with first or upper channel through listener's right speaker; the other channel through the left speaker." Could this be correct? It's the reverse of the industry standard where upper channel is left, lower channel is right. Any thoughts?
