The House of The Rising Sun – The Animals (1964)

An Individual, limited edition, example of vinyl record silhouette art made from a genuine, original, 45rpm, 7” single of The House of The Rising Sun from 1964, by British folk rock band, The Animals. Released on the Columbia record label, this vinyl single has been reworked into a silhouette of a house and a rising sun similar to that as found on the album.

The House of the Rising Sun is a traditional folk song which tells of a life gone wrong in New Orleans, urging a sibling to avoid the same fate.  Its origin is unknown and has been recorded by various artists but the most successful commercial version is that by the Animals.
