This song prompted Eric Clapton to leave The Yardbirds, since he felt their music was becoming too commercial. He was replaced by Jeff Beck, who was later replaced by Jimmy Page.
Clapton left to join John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. He would later be a member of Cream and Derek And The Dominoes.
This was written by Graham Gouldman, Bass player for the group 10cc. He also wrote "Heartful Of Soul" for the Yardbirds.
Gouldman was inspired by the Animals "House of the Rising Sun."
This almost didn't get recorded by the Yardbirds. Gouldman wrote it for his own group at the time, the Mockingbirds, but their demo was turned down by Columbia. Also it is believed that producer Mickie Most turned it down on behalf of Herman's Hermits and that the Animals also turned it down.
The harpsichord on this song was played by session musician Brian Auger who later became a solo artist of note. His biggest hit was the Bob Dylan song "This Wheel's On Fire," which was credited to Julie Driscoll With Brian Auger And The Trinity. It later became the theme tune for the BBC comedy show Absolutely Fabulous.
Session musicians played the harpsichord, bongos, and double bass. Besides Clapton's guitar solo, the other Yardbirds played on very little of this.
This song also appeared in the movie Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas
