Sheer Heart Attack LP

Queen

Reissue of Queen’s third studio album, Sheer Heart Attack, sourced from the original master tapes and pressed on 180-gram vinyl cut at half-speed.

 

Originally released 1 November 1974, ‘Sheer Heart Attack’, Roger Taylor’s favourite Queen album, features their first U.S. hit single, “Killer Queen,” which peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100. Prior to this Queen were mostly considered a heavy rock band, but this album experimented with a variety of musical genres, including music hall, heavy metal, ballads and ragtime. At this point Queen started to move away from the progressive tendencies of their first two releases into a more radio-friendly, song-orientated style, illustrated by ‘Killer Queen’, a song about a high-class call girl, it contains the guitar solo that Brian May is most proud of and won Freddie his first Ivor Novello Award. Sitting alongside their contemporaries like Led Zep and David Bowie, Queen set the standard for British rock in the 1970’s and became one of the most thrilling, glamorous and downright rock n roll bands of all time, directly influencing a contemporary roll call of artists from Foo Fighters & Axl Rose to Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.
