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.

The Velvet Underground - The Complete Matrix Tapes: 7 (B+)
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 paying outrageous used prices for a bloated collection. Some of these tracks are on the Quine tapes and CDs five and six of the VU super deluxe edition. I’m guessing the latter are the best way to hear the Matrix performances now, but I'm not springing for a 6CD set just to get them. I will give them a listen or two though. I'll also pull out the 1969 live album and rate that as well, and then I'll be done with these particular performances.
