Electric Six 7" Question

Post by shaneoftheroad »

I just read there were only 500 copies of "Danger! High Voltage!" pressed on 7" vinyl. Is that accurate?

PS: It was on an eBay auction so it's likely not true.

Is that a serious suggestion or are you being sardonic? Yes, I checked wikipedia. I'm just making conversation on a forum designed for these types of questions. And if it was a serious suggestion, my apologies. I'm a dick.

I'll take you one this weekend. I had heard 10 or so of these but 25 could be the magic #.

It's all rumour, but if you listen to it over and over you can't really pin it as anyone else

I'd always heard it was true, and some rumor that it cost $60,000 for him to sing on it. I also believe it's pretty true cause Meg (my wife) talked to some of E6 once and one of the guys was good friends with Jack at the time and confirmed that it was him on the song.

I just did some googling and turns out there is only speculation it is him.
So I guess I am more positive now that its Jack.
Seems that he likes doing such things for years now

I had heard the same things (it was rumoured).

But if you compare the bits where he shrieks "Don't you wanna know why we keep starting fires?" to the underblack pool lights live stuff like When I Hear My Name it is too close to say it's anyone else
