Might be an 8 (A-). I would get the remastered 2005 CD on Rhino if I could find it for a reasonable price. The 1972 LP is also hard to find for a reasonable price. Finally, the 2023 remastered "50th Anniversary" release comes padded with a second disc containing a recent live replaying of the whole album. Update (January 2026): I went for the 20th Anniversary release. The live disc is not too bad, and it sells for basically the same as a single disc release, so I went for it and am glad I did. Upped it a couple notches also. I'm not rating the live disc though, although it's definitely worth hearing and a nice thing to have.
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.
