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.

Zaiko Langa Langa - Hits Inoubliables, Vol. 4: notation
This appears to be a compilation of two albums: Pusa Kuna... Serrez! Serrez! and Volant: Makambo Ya Mikolo Oyo, each with four of the eight songs on this. I only listened once. It was mentioned in Gary Stewart's great book Rumba on the River, but seemed unremarkable on one play. He didn't actually say it was good. The former definitely sounded better than the latter. Actually, I played the former twice because the back half of the sebene on the last song, "Patshi Ya Ilo," was so outstanding.
