Absolutely beautiful. His selection of covers allowed him to beat the crap out of both Aretha Franklin and the Stones in one fellow swoop. Also, as hard as it may be for the non-listener to understand, several of this album's cuts were almost foreshadowing of early heavy metal. Tracks like "Ole Man Trouble" and "I've Been Loving You Too Long" possess saxy riffs almost as enormous as any Sabbath cut. To think that a modest pop singer could have done that in 1965 just blows my mind.

I think The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society deserves that title.

How can I discover it if I already have listened to it?
