I've also obtained a nearly-mint "This Was" by the same band. Washed and cleaned it yesterday, and it sounds heavenly. But again, the bass is on a shy side. Not like "Stand Up", where the bass is strong and pungent. I need to get me a good copy of "Benefit" to see if the same problem persists.
Don't you just hate it when you cannot detect where the post ends and a signature line begins?
