Before 11/2020, grades range from 5 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+), and 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are noted as liked :-) (honorable mention), neutral :-|, and disliked :-(. At least 4 listens per graded album and 3 listens per ungraded album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. I sold/shelved ~10,000 albums after at least 3 or 4 listens, respectively, before starting this blog and will add entries for those as they arise.

I-Roy - Gussie Presenting I-Roy: 7 (B+)
Some copies appear as merely Presenting I. Roy (ie, no "Gussie"). Some write the artist as I. Roy, some as simply I Roy (and some even as IRoy). No reasonably-priced CDs, and all cluttered with many bonus tracks or even an extra disc anyway. And not going for used vinyl at this grade, even though some (many?) consider it one of the greatest deejay albums of all time. It's #toasting anyway, although I don't think I've adhered to that in all cases, which is why the extra layer of rationalization.
