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.]

Flipper - The Peel Sessions (August 15, 1993): 4 stars
Not an actual release. Demonstrates that the songs on American Grafishy weren't bad, it's just that the recording diminished them. (Contains three songs from that plus "Way of the World.") The band really gelled at that point. I saw them live just before they recorded this, and it was one of the most memorable shows of my life. One of the guys seemed so high I couldn't understand how he could still play. They played a riveting set that sounded like this recording for not much longer than this. They were on for 25 minutes at most.
