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.]

Youssou N'Dour - Raxas Bercy 2017: 3.5 stars
Not sure what the deal is with this recording. It purports to be live, or at least is generally portrayed that way, but several of the tracks have zero crowd noise and definitely seem like studio recordings. I also am not crazy about it, but it's an official bootleg, so I took the trouble to burn it, put it in a slim CD case, print out a cover and stick it on the shelves, most likely never to be heard again. I wouldn't do that for an official "digital only" release, but I will for a bootleg I guess.
