I'm curious about this as well. Leaving aside that it's boring, it was mastered by Tom Boddie in Cleveland but pressed at ARP in Detroit (good move not getting pressed by Boddie!) I know a LOT about bands from that area (they are clearly white greasers) but have never come across this band name. The a side is an instrumental version of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood".

I do have the record. I dunno where I got it.

The number 42968 is almost certainly the recording/mastering date (April 29 1968, we use m/d/y in the US). This date coding was commonly done by Akron Recording but the quality of the recording is not up to their standards.
