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).

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.
