Notes

Contains 20 versions of the song "House Of The Rising Sun".
Part of the series "One-Song-Collection" as named on this release, other releases with the same concept on the same label had the series title "One-Song-Edition", so both titles descripe the same series.
No catalog number on the spines, only printed as "Bestell-Nr. 01612-2" on the back cover and on the cd.

Front cover is two sided printed sheet with the story of the Song on the inner side:
"Actually it's a folk song. First recorded and published on vinyl in 1937 by Georgia Turner (this version is also included on this compilation for sure), many other stars in the 50s have adopted this song in their own personal way, such as Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie, also followed by legendary artists like Bob Dylan and Joan Baez....[...]...The roots of the melody can already be found more than 400 years ago, composed in the 16th century, named "Matt Groves"...
