Collector Interest
A much less common version of Sheer Heart Attack than the standard retail pressing. White-label radio promos are especially appealing to Queen collectors, promotional-record collectors, radio memorabilia collectors and classic-rock vinyl enthusiasts.
A great early Queen collectible from the period when “Killer Queen” was breaking the band in the U.S.
