Paul benefited the most, his bass work shines through like never before.

Very true... I picked that up as well.

It also blew me away once again how incredibly well they harmonised. They really were something special as a band.

As silly as it sounds, another reason I love Peppers was because I always thought of it as three albums. I listen to it once, then all the way through a second time just on the left channel, then a third time just on the right channel... Seriously... You would be amazed how different some tracks sound with the 60's Stereo seperation...
