Journal 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 liked (fka honorable mention) :-), neutral :-|, and negative :-(. At least 3 listens per posted album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. I shelved/sold ~10,000 albums after at least 3 listens before starting this blog and will add entries for those as they come up. Yes, I know that album (probably).

Cat Power - Moon Pix [liked]
:-) [I had this at one point, but I'm pretty sure I sold it off before starting this blog. I'll keep the album cover up though, since I did have it, and my grade could easily switch to 7 (B+). It really hovers between those two, and some people really love it.]

Toots & The Maytals: Pass the Pipe: 7 (B+)
Out of print and prices used as if it were a lost treasure, instead of this grade. So I won’t be on the lookout for reasonably-priced copies.
Peter and the Test Tube Babies - Peter and the Test Tube Babies: 7 (B+)
Originally issued as the import-only Soberphobia, and this US-issued, self-titled version is prohibitively expensive used and was only reissued on remastered CDr, also unavailable for reasonable prices. At this grade, I will not be keeping an eye out for reasonably-priced copies.
Orchestre Les Volcans Du Benin - Vol. 1: 7.5 (high B+)
# [Afro-Cuban] Vinyl-only reissue of 1980 release anyway, with original vinyl being ultra-rare and expensive.
