don't be surprised if the levels don't "sound" as loud even when
you normalize to 0dBFS. You may need to apply significant
compression to the LP tracks to approach what modern popular
music CDs sound like.

Ewww... why would anyone do that to their vinyl transcriptions?

The OP said that he wanted them as "loud" as his CD-
sourced tracks. Seems unlikely that will happen without
compression equivalent to the CDs.
