I really want to give this a full A, but I can't manage it. While all the singles on Ork seem historically important, and the box set is lovingly and amazingly done, definitely less than all the songs are A level. The best "unheard" one is "It Was So Funny" by the Erasers. So I'm settling for 8.5 (high A-). I know in my heart that in pure musical terms, this is probably no more than 8 (A-).
Before 11/2020, grades range from 5 to 3.5 stars. After that, grade range is: 10 (A+), 9.5 (high A), 9 (A), 8.5 (high A-), 8 (A-), 7.5 (high B+), and 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are noted as liked :-) (honorable mention), neutral :-|, and disliked :-(. At least 4 listens per graded album and 3 listens per ungraded album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. I sold/shelved ~10,000 albums after at least 3 or 4 listens, respectively, before starting this blog and will add entries for those as they arise.
