Any thoughts on this? Discogs lists it as a jukebox record, but it sure looks like a bootleg to me.

Most likely boot for beach music scene

Discogs calls it a reissue label and there are copies of the other release for sale on there.

They're pretty hot on boots and counterfeits and it would be banned from sale were it not kosher.

Was this an unreleased cut from their ABC or Curtom periods, or just a fairly obscure ABC LP cut?  Or was it unreleased from the time gap between the lapse of their VJ contract, and their signing with ABC, and it's a Curtis Mayfieldless Impressions recording, like those that were picked up by tiny New York labels in 1960-61?
