I got one of those in mint shape. But I'm told it isn't RM that it's really SQ???
Or do I have wax in my head again??

ICK! No way! The Japanese RM LP of DSOTM is the absolute worst quad version of this title, if you ask me. It decodes like crap compared to the SQ LP. I've compared a mint copy of the original U.K. SQ LP through a Tate II decoder to a mint copy of the Japanese RM LP through a Sansui QSD-1 and there is no comparison. The RM LP's quad soundfield is muddy, incoherent, unstable and just plain bad.
I've heard some really good RM and QS encoded discs, so I can't figure out what went wrong here. My theory is that the Japanese RM LP did not use discrete source, such as the quad master tape. I can only guess that they used an SQ master tape, decoded it and then re-encoded as RM for this pressing. That's the only reason I can think of for how bad this things sounds.
But hey, it's still a great quad collectible to have, but it is the LAST version I will reach for if I want to hear DSOTM in quad. By contrast, the Japanse RM LP of Atom Heart Mother is incredible! In fact, it is my very favorite RM/QS encoded LP.
