Firstly, I want to thank everyone for their kind comments. This is a passion project for me, as my intention is to create perfect masters for myself to listen to for the rest of my life, as I doubt we will ever see official releases with the correct mastering (which is not unique to the Beatles, might I add).
I am wrapping up Beatles For Sale, which I am very happy with the results. I am remastering the 2009 CD and using Pbthal's rip of the tube-cut vinyl as a reference. It seems the reason the tube-cut sounds so natural is due to a dip around the 5.5khz range which isn't on the solid-state pressing (or the 2009 CD). I am excited to release this volume in the next couple of days, such a great sounding album.
I also have been slightly dissatisfied with my AHDN remaster, and I think I figured out why. The source I used as a reference (Ebbetts Blue Box) had too much high end causing a fatiguing sound. I believe I have fixed this.
So here is the revision of A Hard Day's Night:
A Hard Day's Night (DEFINITIVE MASTERS):

With this revision and Beatles For Sale right around the corner, I am very satisfied with volume 2-5. The first volume in Please Please Me sounds great to me sometimes and other times I think I need to make some adjustments. I think I'll come back to it last after I've finished the catalog.

Stereo album remastered, along with the stereo singles I Feel Fine and She's A Woman.
This is a really well-produced album. "Honey Don't" might be their best sounding song. It was tricky remastering this album, because the 2009 CD doesn't present any obvious flaws. I used both Dr. Ebbetts blue box and Pbthal's tube-cut needledrops as a reference for this project. The tube-cut version is sought after due to it's gorgeous mid-range. I think I replicated that here.
