When I clicked on the Amazon link, I noticed, among the Recommended other CDs, "SPARTACUS - Fred Astaire." Now, that ought to be a real collector's item.

El/Cherry Red is perfectly legit. Nothing "unmentionable" about it.
Plus, it has that extra track that is not on the Verve release. No reason for Verve to leave it off.
I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not prepared to state definitively whether the previous SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS is or it isn't a boot. I suspect it is. Many of the US labels consider El/Cherry Red to be bootleggers, though, and that's good enough for me. In fact, I believe the guy who owns this site thinks they're bootleggers (correct me if I'm wrong, Lukas). And their sketchy releases made from LPs sometimes prevent or delay the official appearance of material from better sources. So, please keep on defending them, loud and long, and cling to your El/Cherry Red edition.
I, meanwhile, will be enjoying my new official release of this music in much improved sound with only the tiniest smidgen of regret that one source track has been left off.

Cherry Red is *not* a bootleg label
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry_Red_Records
I really don't know how people get that information. It's not because a label is outside the US that people have to start ignoring or banning their releases.

Many people believe the earth is flat, and that's good enough for me.
In fact, I believe the guy who owns this site thinks they're bootleggers (correct me if I'm wrong, Lukas).
Thinking critically, the LAST person who is going to convince me of a label's illegitimacy will be the owner of a competing label, who obviously stands to gain if his customers have that perception. It's like believing the results of a climate change study funded by oil companies.

It is my favorite track on the Chico Hamilton album, so...
