"Some of the earliest memories I have are of hanging out in my family's living room listening to this album loud enough to wake the neighbors (my parents were party animals even then!). Then I had a radio show in college a couple of years ago, and so I dusted off my parents' old LP of this album and played it one night. The response was immediate and enthusiastic--"we want more!" So, "House of the Rising Sun" became the disco anthem of the 1990's for a small, sleepy southern college town, a phenomenon which is proof that great music really does stand the test of time."

The BEST version of this song.

"The Santa Esmeralda versions of The House of the Rising Sun and Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood are the reason those are two of my favorite songs. SE is representative of what was great about disco. This is definitely a club classic."

BE AWARE THAT THIS LABEL PUBLISHES ON CD-R's!

"This comment is about the label - Hot Productions -
be aware that their CDs (in particular, "The House..."
are actually CD-R's that many players (especially
car CD players and a number of DVD players) do NOT
play. I do NOT know if this is so about their other
CDs. We all know how to make such CD's at home :)
If their prices were 25%-30% of what they are,
it would be OK. Legal issues is their problem :)"
