On May 11, 1960, The Mystics with Jay Traynor on lead recorded "White Cliffs of Dover", "Blue Star" and "Over the Rainbow" at RCA Studios. Inspired by The Del-Vikings' version, they chose "White Cliffs Of Dover", (a song they often sang at live shows long before recording it). Backed with "Blue Star", "White Cliffs of Dover" received only local play. "Over the Rainbow" remained unreleased until the late 1980s when Ace Records issued a Mystics album.

Looks like this actually first appeared on the album The Complete Mystics released in 1985 (on Ace Records, which corroborates what Wikipedia says about it). https://rateyourmusic.com/release/comp/the_mystics_f1/the_complete_mystics/
