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.]

Donna Summer - On the Radio: Greatest Hits Volume I & II: 9 (A)
I could upgrade to 1994's Endless Summer, but this is the original. The later one is missing 5 tracks from this, and adds 8 of its own though, so maybe I'll get the new one too one day. (They're both about 71 minutes, so the later one obviously has shorter songs overall.) On the other hand, the later one seems out of print now, so I'll pass for the moment. Hull and Christgau give each one the same grade (A minus and full A, respectively). [Found a streamable version of Endless Summer in 2024, so will evaluate that separately.]
