The label reads “Rex Roval”. Discogs dates the single to 1960; the history of the band, founded in 1961 and taken over by Hannes Patek as his backing band in 1962, points to 1962. “Susi-Twist” is a German-language version of Bill Haley's “Where'd You Go Last Night”, “Tabu” the well-known piece by Margarita Lecuona with lyrics by Al Stillman. The organist Peter Cabla remembers a live recording at the Star Club Vienna. The record names no line-up; at that time Harry Pepl was the guitarist of the Austrian Evergreens.
