Description
Up for auction is a beautiful copy of the Eddie Costa Quintet album "5" released on Mode Records (MOD-LP #118) in 1957. This is an original, deep groove mono pressing with correct blue back cover. A real gem of a jazz album that flies under the radar. Accompanying Costa on this great record are Art Farmer, Phil Woods, Teddy Kotick, and Paul Motian. This is a stunning copy. I don't use "mint" to grade my records, but this is as close as you can get. Cover is absolutely beautiful, looks "as new" without a mark on it. The high gloss laminate cover retains its original shine to it. Back cover is virtually spotless, bone white. Corners sharp, seams perfect. I'll grade it Near Mint (NM++). The vinyl is equally nice, looks immaculate. No marks to speak of. It really shines. Probably been played once, if that. I'll grade it NM just to be overly conservative. Rarely do you get to see any 55 year old jazz record in this condition.
