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.

Alex Chilton - Singer Not the Song [EP]: notation
All songs are on Ork Records: New York, New York, which I have and kind of treasure.
Joy of Cooking - American Originals [Capitol, 1993]: notation
The first thirteen songs are from their three original albums. The next two are from the Toni Brown & Terry Garthwaite album Cross Country. The last three are from an unreleased album, and I could not find these to stream. I am currently evaluating the first thirteen tracks, to see if I like the flow enough to go for this.
Bonnie Raitt - Sweet Forgiveness: 8 (A-)
Both this and Home Plate were produced by Paul Rothchild. These also happen to be my two favorite early-period Raitt albums.
Iggy Pop - Choice Cuts: notation
Contains one side of The Idiot and one side of Lust for Life. No purpose for this in the digital age, obviously, although perhaps an interest relic.
