Unlisted LPs
The following is a list of albums from my old record lists (and what's
left of my memory) that I hadn't brought forward into my current list
system. In some of these cases I'm changing my mind and adding them to
the list system, with grades (noted) as best I can remember. A few may
be marked * to indicate that I still have the LP (most LPs were dumped
when I moved from NJ back to KS); those cases should disappear from
this list and join the list system as grade U until I get around to
them.
Regular Albums:
These were albums of newly released material. Usually I didn't evaluate
them under the current list system because I didn't remember them clearly
enough, or because I didn't consider them sufficiently important to bother
with, or because subsequent reissues limited the value of considering them
in their original configuration.
Over time, I've added some grades (in brackets), based on subsequent
plays (or samples), or sometimes just on recovered memories (dubious as
they may be).

Classical Music
Finally, a list of classical (including some modern or avant or whatever
you call that shit these days). This was never an interest in building
the database, although some has crept in. I had some interest in 12-tone
and serialism at one point, and more so in early electronics, but haven't
paid much attention since 1980, so that interest is very rusty. I never
could stand classical classical music, and don't expect to ever
take it up. Laura is quite fond of mediaeval and baroque musics, so I
may add her records to this list at some point, and may even listen to
a few.
