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.]

The Velvet Underground - 1969 Velvet Underground Live: 4 stars
Have this on vinyl and will keep it, but after listening to the Quine bootlegs, this, The Complete Matrix Tapes, and discs 5 and 6 of the "super deluxe" version of the eponymous album, it's clear that there is no ideal way to collect these classic live performances. This and the Quine tapes sound bad. The Complete collection is too much, and is way OOP, and the "super deluxe" discs can't be bought separately. So I will burn the latter and stick them on my shelves as a two-CD bootleg set.
