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.]

Lee "Scratch" Perry - Back on the Controls: 4 stars
Dub tracks are pretty great for dub, probably B plus. The main versions are better, A minus at least, maybe a full A, but I'm not parsing it out with the dub tracks. Anyway, this is not really on CD, and configured terribly anyway so I would not buy it if it was: the main and dub tracks alternate, instead of there being a second disc with the dub versions, as is typical. In the end, this is good enough that I decided to break protocol and buy this in digital (FLAC) and burn to double disc to put on the shelves.
