Sheer Heart Attack

Sheer Heart Attack
Released in November 1974. Work on the album had to begin without Brian as he was very ill with hepatitis, but he ultimately felt well enough to work, and when this album finally came out it was a hit on both sides of the Atlantic, entering the UK chart at number 2. Q Magazine rate Sheer Heart Attack as one the essential Queen albums to own.
