From Wikipedia... Sheer Heart Attack is the third studio album by the British rock band Queen, released on 8 November 1974 by EMI Records in the United Kingdom and by Elektra Records in the United States. Digressing from the progressive themes featured on their first two albums, the album featured more pop-centric and conventional rock tracks and marked a step towards the "classic" Queen sound. It was produced by the band and Roy Thomas Baker, and launched Queen to mainstream popularity in the UK and throughout the world.

The album's first single "Killer Queen" reached number 2 on the UK Singles Chart and provided the band with their first top 20 hit in the US, peaking at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. Sheer Heart Attack was the first Queen album to hit the US top 20, peaking at number 12 on the Billboard Top LPs & Tapes Chart in 1975. It has been acknowledged for containing "a wealth of outstanding hard rock guitar tracks".  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.

I played this LP completely through (several times!) on both sides on my audio-technia AT-LP60XBT turntable without issues.  It plays beautifully and sounds awesome!  The guitar work is amazing.  This band had a very unique sound at the time in the mid 70's.  Great stuff!!
