This album originally released in 1968 is a must for all psychedelica adepts. Back in those days this record was ground breaking stuff, comparable with the punch in the face the Sex Pistols gave the establishment in their days.
He was the first one to use a drum machine as a live instrument (back in '73), influenced Ian Gillan from Deep Purple with his freaky falsetto singing, was a pioneer in using stage props (during performances of "Fire" he tended to set his head or at least the strange crownlike thing on his head on fire) and is generally considered to be the first shockrocker.
The album contains the well known single "Fire" (which got to the highest regions of the Billboard Top 100), but has many other good things to offer as well, including excellent and turned inside out covers of James and Screaming Jay Hawkins.
I will let you discover this wild and adventurous psychedelic ride yourself.
