I am not George Starostin! I'm just another fan making one more attempt to compile all the ratings from his old record review website at http://starling.rinet.ru/music/index.htm This site has been retired since 2007, but he is still writing new reviews at http://only-solitaire.blogspot.com/.

I will continue the tradition of using the preview line at the top of his website reviews rather than the full review. I will only post reviews not already done by the George_Starostin, OnlySolitaire, and Only_Solitaire profiles to avoid redundancy. (These are the only users I'm aware of who made a similar attempt. If there are others, please PM me.) However, I will post all of his old ratings, since I'm assuming the ratings from the outdated accounts listed above no longer factor into the RYM overall ratings.

Here is how the overall ratings from Starostin's website break down into this account's RYM ratings:

14-15 = 5 stars
13 = 4.5 stars
12 = 4 stars
11 = 3.5 stars
10 = 3 stars
9 = 2.5 stars
8 = 2 stars
7 = 1.5 stars
5-6 = 1 star
3-4 = 0.5 stars

For his individual track ratings for the Nuggets box sets and the Atlantic R'n'B collection (I know this is somewhat arbitrary):

A+ = 5 stars
A = 4.5 stars
A- = 4 stars
B+ or B = 3.5 stars
B- = 3 stars
C+ or C = 2.5 stars
C- = 2 stars

Once again, all words, opinions, ratings, and lists are the work of George Starostin.
