The sleeve reads “Star Club Wien” and spells “Bob A Lena”; the song is “Bop-A-Lena” by Webb Pierce and Mel Tillis, a 1958 hit for Ronnie Self. According to Discogs, the B-side “Loving” is by Albert Doppler. The record names no line-up. Harry Pepl played guitar with the Austrian Evergreens from around 1964 until the early 1970s, so his participation in this recording is likely but not explicitly documented.
