"Cars are Cars" by Paul Simon...are my channels reversed?

Perfectly normal. Your pressing is British. They all drive on the left.

witty, but not helpful

You are the best qualified to determine whether or not your channels are reversed.  Did you check your system from front to back, for that problem? What did you find?  If there's no obvious error in your hook-ups, and if other vinyl sounds correctly oriented, then I would guess you have no problem.  One could guess that the LP and the digital version are different from each other.

lewm the OP stated right up front that he knows all his connections are correct. He hasn’t mentioned this happening with anything else. Only on Spotify. Which then for some unfathomable reason instead of just saying oh Spotify and be done with it he frets its something technical and apparently invisible, since he can’t see it. Maybe next the thread will go on for days and weeks and months, all the sages coming up with one idea after another, each less likely than the last, until finally GK and glupson are battling over, well whatever. At that point all best are off.

That’s the alternative. Which one do you prefer? The long or the short?
