From Prestige Swingville Records (SVLP 2011) this is  JIVE AT FIVE  by The JOE NEWMAN QUINTET.  It is an original mono pressing recorded at the Rudy Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, May 4, 1960, and released later that same year.  A beautiful integration of the styles of Count Basie and Dizzy Gillespie, juxtaposing the finest elements of swing and bebop, an intelligent and engaging blend of two far-apart worlds with an emotional impact that can best be described as just plain fun -- both serious and playful. Highly recommended. 
The jacket is sturdy and clean showing no flaws or blemishes and no signs of aging, just modest shelf wear on back surface (see photo).  Corners are almost perfect 90-degree angles and the spine is perfectly blocked with print dead center.  Even with the minor shelf wear this jacket rates at least NEAR MINT, might be NM+ if you're in a generous mood.  A solid album cover.
The original inner sleeve is not present so we have housed the vinyl in a state-of-the-art MFSL inner, the ultimate in protection. We have removed the LP from its original jacket and placed it within separate cover, heavy-duty and acid-free of course (pictured above).  
The labels show a few light spindle marks, o/w clean with that famous deep groove and the matrix shows RVG  both sides. Playing surfaces show not one mark of any kind conservatively grading at MINT MINUS. Some dealers deride the word "MINT" saying that no such thing exists, puffing up their chests and stating that THEY would never use such a grade.  OK. Bully for them.  Personally, I like the word and will continue to use it when a record deserves.  This record deserves.   We cleaned the vinyl on a VPI and played it all the way through.  The verdict is: It Appears MINT MINUS and plays about same.
Low opening bid with NO RESERVE.  Good luck bidders and HAVE FUN because that's what it's all about.
