As a reviewer said about it at the time of its release: "it's all there if you listen". Eclectic to the point of schizophrenia, it's a Himalayas of songwriting, an embarrassment of riches...

A world of its own, where people drink tea with butter scones and complain about the weather. Oh and there's a penomenal cat, a witch, a leather-clad biker, and a sky that's too big to care.

Where the Stones find their definitive blues-rock identity, for the first time. And first times are often the best.

A unique blend of influences (gregorian chants, musique concrète, pop, classical, psychedelia, japanese,...) coalesce into a weird, innovative and highly entertaining melodic rock album.

A ferocious and at times hilarious lampooning of both the late 1960's so-called counter-culture, and middle-class America. The Sgt Pepper-parodying cover is worth analysing for a laugh too.

A haunting collection of songs written in India while he was studying TM with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, in the company of the Beatles. A rich moment of cross-fertilization.

Jimi's third and last album. A fascinating studio artefact.
