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.]

Gary Stewart - Best of the Hightone Years: 4 stars
Only three songs on here overlap with Gary's Greatest, which, while also on Hightone, includes material from his RCA catalog. So an easy way to think of these is that this is the Hightone best of, while Gary's Greatest is the RCA best of. Ie, you need them both, but the first one more. And then there's the two-fer of Out of Hand plus Your Place or Mine, which I will grade some other day. That two-fer is necessary because only 5 of the songs on those RCA albums are on Gary's Greatest (to make room for some of the Hightone cuts, obviously).
