Description
Queen 'Sheer Heart Attack' Japanese Butterfly Label Vinyl LP 1974 Mint condition. Condition is Used but vinyl has never been played. I bought this Japanese import in 1978 to replace my original well-played copy of Sheer Heart Attack but have never had the heart to play it! The inner sheets are printed in both Japanese and English and the cover has the original Japanese ribbon.
Sheer Heart Attack is the third studio album by Queen, released on 8 November 1974 and digresses from the progressive themes featured on their first two album. It was produced by the band and Roy Thomas Baker and launched Queen to mainstream popularity in the UK and throughout the world.
After the release of Queen II, the group embarked on a promotional tour with Mott the Hoople. However, in the middle of the tour, Brian May was struck down with illness, forcing the entire tour to end early. Much of the Sheer Heart Attack album was written while Brian was recovering in hospital; nonetheless, the album's first single ' Killer Queen' reached number 2 in the British charts and provided them with their first top 20 hit in the U.S., peaking at number 12 in the US. Sheer Heart Attack was the first Queen album to hit the U.S. top 20, peaking at number 12 in 1975. The album has been acknowledged for containing "a wealth of outstanding hard rock guitar tracks" by the now legendary Mr May. 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.[3]
