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.]

Gregory Isaacs - Mr. Love: 8.5 (high A-)
Contains (and only contains) 7 out of 10 tracks from Cool Ruler (1978), 6 out of 10 tracks from Soon Forward (1979), 5 out of 10 tracks from More Gregory (1981), and 3 out of 10 tracks from Lonely Lover (1980). This seems to get it just right. Makes getting those individual releases unnecessary for all but the most rabid fans. Totally solves the "Gregory Isaacs problem" (namely, his releasing ~1000 albums in a 5 year peak period).
