George Martin reminiscs in a 16 page booklet, accompanying the discs. Thanks to Dirk Bock for providing photos of this release. Of course, the German edition is region coded for Europe. It's available from German Amazon (who are mistakenly listing it as a 3 disc version and fails to list the bonus material).
In the latest edition of their podcast, Fab 4 Free For All features Giles Martin, talking about his involvement in the remastering of the audio for A Hard Day's Night: Link.
