Anyone ID this track?

Anyone know this as a release? 
 

The acetate was listed by the seller as possibly unissued.

That vocal sounds like an uncanny mix of Box Tops-era Alex Chilton and "Genuine Imitation Life Gazette"-era Frankie Valli. It's neither of them, but this sure is a full fledged production that it wouldn't surprise me if it has been released in some form. The flipside on the acetate, "The River Is Wide", is a cover of The Grassroots / The Forum. Two fabulous studio/sunshine pop sides.

I know The Levert Sisters version but not this.....I wonder if it is The Forum

Wow, have to admit that the recording of "A Place For Me" on the acetate is so different from the Leverett Sisters version that I didn't even recognise that they were versions of the same song!

The version of "The River Is Wide" on the acetate sounds like it is modelled after the 1969 Grassroots version, not the 1966 version by the Forum and the vocal stylings of The Forum are totally different than the vocals on the acetate so it's probably an unrelated group/artist.

Both sides on the acetate can be heard here:

Yeah, sounds blue-eyed, especially the b-side.
