[edit] When did band name change?

When did the name of the band change from "The Animals" to "Eric Burdon and the Animals"? [10:24, 28 August 2002 Soulpatch]

Price left (May '65), the band kept going until September '66 as The Animals, then announced they'd split. They returned in December '66 as "Eric Burdon and The Animals" [10:39, 28 August 2002 Gareth Owen]

"House of the Rising Sun" already has its own article. Only relevant here are the recordings that influenced The Animals' version. Edited accordingly. Wasted Time R 23:28, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

There's something odd about Burdon's stated reason for relocating to California. Newcastle is, I believe, the second driest large city in England - the whole of the urban North East is in the lowest national rainfall category. It could hardly be othewise, situated as it is in the rain shadow of the highest land in England. Up there the rain can certainly come sideways, as the local saying has it.
