Bit of trivia.
The House of the Rising Sun was a great song by the Animals. It was recorded in one take and was unusual in that it lasted four and a half minutes. Of that time most were about two minutes apparently. I would have thought three.
Anyway when was that time i.e. when was it released? My guess was 1968 . You can listen to it and get the actual year here. I bet BigRon gets it spot on!

Great song,don't recall the year it came out[would've guessed earlier than '68 though]seem to remember it was the cause of a falling out between Eric Burden and Alan Price.

1964 released :y

I guessed 65, but knew it was before 68. No-one wore those suits in 68. ;)

Sorry Mr. Varche, way before my time, as I'm only 29!
Not my genre, either; I'm more jazz and classics, with a sprinkling of Meat Loaf and Kate Bush thrown in.
Favourite vocalists? Marion Montgomery, Julie Covington and, of course, Frank Sinatra. :y 8)
Ron.

A bit more watchable . . .

And of course Alan Price went on to have a decent solo career, and Chas Chandler discovered . . . Jimi Hendrix !
House of the Rising Sun may have been their biggest hit, but I liked Inside Looking Out and others better. Big fan

I like Bob Dylan’s version on his debut album from 1962.

1964 released :y
................and the trouble is I remember it so well on Top of The Pops in that year!! :o :o
It certainly was a big hit with me and my friends :-* :-* :y
Note the Beatle style suits that they wore in recognition of the fashion the Fab Four had started which you can see better in this VT version. :-* In fact the whole production copies The Beatles presentation current at that time. Oh yes, The Beatles had that effect on the music, fashions and culture of us young! God, I wish I could go back there and marry Paul McCartney; sorry Eric Burden, you were fab, but no where near as fab as Paul!! :-* :-* :-* :-*:-* ;)
