Sheer Heart Attack

Sealed - Brand new vinyl. Made in USA.

Sheer Heart Attack is the third studio album by the British rock band Queen, released on 8 November 1974. It was produced by the band and Roy Thomas Baker and distributed by EMI in the United Kingdom, and Elektra in the United States.

The album launched Queen to mainstream popularity both in the UK and throughout the world: the first single, "Killer Queen", reached No. 2 in the British charts and provided them with their first top 20 hit in the US, peaking at No. 12 on the Billboard singles chart. Sheer Heart Attack was also the first Queen album to hit the US top 20, peaking at No. 12 in 1975. Digressing from the progressive themes featured on their first two albums, this album featured more conventional rock tracks and marked a step towards the classic Queen sound.^[5] The album has been acknowledged for containing "a wealth of outstanding hard rock guitar tracks".^[2] Retrospectively, it has been listed by multiple publications as one of the band's best works and has been deemed an essential glam rock album.^[4]
