  GRADING          SCALE:

My grading is my opinion and mine alone and is strictly done on the quality of the music recorded.  It has nothing to do w/ performance or the musician (s) during the tape.  I try to be as accurate as possible when comparing tape quality

A - Good Quality and good for regular listening
B - Decent Quality and good for casual listening.  Maybe muddy but won't hurt your ears to listen to
C - This should NEVER be put into circulation.  Excessive crowd noise, hiss, inaudible vocals, etc.  It'd be annoying to listen to but still could be
D - Inaudible but you can distinguish what's being played under the distortion. good only as a historical reference
F - A Blank Tape

Also, even though I and many other people will prefer audience tapes over those from a soundboard, I consider the music to be cleaner in most soundboard recordings so I do tend to give them higher ratings as long as the mix sounds good.  Even though they lack the ambience of auds...I believe the music is cleaner and that's what i base my grades on.  There is not seperate grading for auds and sbds at this time.
