Before Nov 2020, grades range from 5 stars 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+), 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are honorable mention :-), neutral :-|, negative :-(. At least 3 listens per album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. [I shelved/sold 10,000-12,000 albums before starting this blog and will add entries for some of those as they come up. If you don't see an album, it doesn't mean I don't know it.]

The Velvet Underground - The Complete Matrix Tapes: 3.5 stars
Only 22 non-repeated songs. They should have picked the best of the repeats and made a great 2CD set. As it is, I’m not springing outrageous used prices for a bloated collection. Some of these tracks are on the Quine Tapes and CDs 5 and 6 of the VU Super Deluxe. I’m guessing the latter are the best way to hear the Matrix performances now, but not springing for a 6 CD set just to get them. I will give them a listen or two though. I'll also pull out the 1969 album and rate that as well, and then I'll be done with these particular performances.
