"Danger! High Voltage" proved a massive hit, particularly in the United Kingdom, leading to its re-release in 2003.

The 2001 single garnered the band public attention after a rumor got out that a pre-fame Jack White from The White Stripes sang backup vocals on single track "Danger! (High Voltage)" when it was recorded. Although this was presented as fact in multiple sources, then-guitarist Surge said in an interview:

'What about the Jack White rumors? Who sings with Dick Valentine in the song?' Surge responds, 'No, no it's a fan. We put a competition out, um and he won, he's a mechanic, it wasn't Jack White.' Disco adds, 'Yeah he was probably the only person that entered!’

In another interview, former drummer M. said: "My attorney has advised us to neither confirm nor deny the presence of Jack White."

Still, the rumor persisted that Jack White was featured on the song "Danger! High Voltage." Initially both he and the Electric Six denied this, and the vocal work was credited officially to the unknown John S O'Leary. Later it was learned that "John S O'Leary" is merely the pseudonym used by White when checking into hotels.

The band's 2003 breakout album Fire earned the group significant critical success, landing the 2003 "Danger! High Voltage" single at number 2 on the UK singles chart. Their second single, "Gay Bar", released in 2003, reached #5 in the UK charts.

I promoted a live music indie/alternative club night for 10 years from 2000-2010.

 

I am now selling off some of my SPARE copies of related vinyl and CDs. 99.9% of what I’m selling is Mint/Unplayed. Some I bought new, most directly from the band, and some are promos.

 

As well as vinyl and CDs I will also be selling posters, press photos, badges.
