I was working at a club the other day that was playing some reggae verions of the White Stripes. They sounded great but they weren't remixes like the drum and bass mixes. Does anyone know who they were by?

Was he just a one hit wonder or did he ever do anything other than Carmina Burana that is worth listening to? And if so is it available?

I am soon to be the proud father of an excellent record player and I am in the process of building a SMALL and select group of new pressings. The criteria is that it has to be music I really love and will want to play over and over through the years....
