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).

Gestu de Dakar - Diabar: 4.5 stars
The first track, Djirime, might be my favorite song of all time. In fact, I'm pretty sure it is. Used copy for sale at almost a grand. I'd probably pay a couple hundred for a near mint copy. As it is, I printed this one out and put it on the shelves. [Re-issued on vinyl-only in 2020! Made an exception to my general rule and bought a copy for $40. Supposedly "remastered" although it doesn't sound like it much. I certainly am not noticing anything I hadn't before, maybe slightly more detail. Still happy to have it.]
