Diary of a Melomaniac

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.

Louis Armstrong: The Best of Louis Armstrong: The Hot Five and Hot Seven Recordings: 10 (A+)

How could anyone resist this single-disc distillation of the legendary 4CD box set, selling for $8 with stellar remastering? A no-brainer. I'm going to go ahead and rate this, even though I am not anywhere near qualified to do so. At the very, very least, one should have this in the collection.
