Diary of a Melomaniac

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 Smiths - The Sound of the Smiths [Deluxe]: 8.5 (high A-)

This is the 2 CD version. (The 1 CD version has pink lettering.) The first disc has all of Singles, plus some extra tracks. The second disc has some rarities etc. I'm kind of a Smiths completist. This and Singles are the best standard "best ofs" -- not counting the classics Hatful of Hollow and Louder Than Bombs -- so I wanted to add this. The other standard best ofs -- Best... I, ...Best II, and The Very Best of the Smiths -- no one likes and I'm skipping.
