Abbey Road MFSL - disappointed

I picked up a copy of Abbey Rd MFSL last week. I grade the disc VG. I was shocked when I listened to 'Come Together'. Instead of a super-slinky bass, I heard a muddy mess. I tested a few more tracks: 'Bathroom Window' sounded like it was being played through a megaphone. The lyrics were barely audible and the inidividual notes in the bass line were indistinguishable. I was worried that maybe my cart died or got whacked out of alignment. I grabbed my other copy of Abbey Road: It appears to be a 70s UK Apple (pcs 7088, YEX 749-6 & YEX 750-4), and it sounded amazing. The difference is hard to describe. The PCS 7088 sounded like what I expected the MFSL to sound like. So, what gives? Did I just get a bad disc, or is the MFSL pressing notoriously poor? I'm a bit nervous about picking up more MFSL., as they are not cheap. Any thoughts or comments?

Thanks
