Description

A genuine UK first pressing of Queen's timeless 1974 breakthrough studio album, Sheer Heart Attack. Home to their international smash "Killer Queen" and the proto-thrash masterpiece "Stone Cold Crazy," this landmark album is highly coveted by audiophiles in its original British form.

This specific copy features the early -4U / -3U matrix configuration alongside the distinctive TML (The Mastering Lab) stampers in the dead wax, which is universally regarded by collectors as the best sounding and punchiest master cut available for this title.
