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.

New York Dolls - Red Patent Leather: liked
Famous live set recorded at the Little Hippodrome in NYC in 1975. I was living nearby in the city at the time (UES), but not at the show unfortunately, given my young age at the time. Of course this is a must listen for any fan of the Dolls because of all the songs that are unavailable anywhere else. I don't actually think the sound is as bad as people make it out to be, but of course I'm probably listening to later versions where the label tried to clean up and improve the sound at least somewhat from the original release. At least 4 listens.
