“The album is very varied. We took it to extreme I suppose. We are very interested in studio techniques and wanted to use what was available.” Freddie Mercury

Queen took a big step forward in their move towards becoming one of Britain’s elite rock bands on November 8, 1974. That date marked the release of their third album, Sheer Heart Attack, which would come close to the top of the U.K. chart and give them their first Top 20 entry, on Elektra Records, in the United States.
