Very impressive and nice to see you're able to outdo yourself each time. I think especially tracks 3 to 10 sound very good, my favourites are You Won't See Me and Norwegian Wood. I do have some nitpicks though

- Day Tripper still has some remnants of the tape drop-out after "Tried to please her". Any reason to not use the more recent sources to fix this?
- I'm Looking Through You just doesn't work for me, sorry. The vocals are a bit too quiet and mixed too narrow while the "buzzer" guitar lick is too loud. Also I would have loved the false start from the US release, same way you included the hi-hat intro version of All My Loving.
- Run For Your Life starts with two "mic thumps" in the right channel?

Eek! You bounder!

Actually I unfixed it! I used the 1+ stereo as a starting point rather than the 65 mix and it is already fixed on that. But I know that this missing note is a sore point with many people who are used to a gap in that spot, so I undid their fix. But I can also post the "fixed" version if you want. Me, I prefer it with the note missing, same as I like the weird "was in vain" bit in If I Fell. That kind of stuff reminds me that they were human.

I had thought about putting it in but since it's not really part of the song I didn't.

Not sure what you mean. I don't hear any thumps.

In the late 80s I made a little device out of Radio Shack parts which blended the left and right channels to narrow the stereo to about 75%. I found this helped give the stereo mixes more oomph by having the bass and drums less focused on one side. The downside was that it made the vocals slightly louder.

I could not have imagined then what would one day be possible. I still cannot believe it, really.

I'd like to add my thanks Lord Reith. I didn't know my mid-price receiver could sound so good!
