Notes
The third studio album by the British rock band Queen was recorded from July to September 1974 at Trident Studios in London, AIR Studios in London, Wessex Studios in London and Rockfield Studios in Monmouth (Wales). It was released on 8 November 1974 by EMI Records in the United Kingdom and on 12 November 1974 by Elektra Records in the United States.
Album with the famous cover showing a Mick Rock photo.
Digressing from the progressive themes featured on their first two albums, this album featured more 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 both the UK and throughout the world.

- Edited 4 months agoPressing sounds great, the LP was nice and flat without any noticeable surface noise. Mine also had a weird stain over track B6 like another user stated. I also noticed that mine was incredibly dusty and absolutely covered in what seemed like little bits of paper from the inner sleeve when I first pulled the record out. I always clean my records before listening to them, but that was sort of a shock considering it was a brand new copy. Would recommend though for sure!

The first of the Ludwig remasters that I purchased on vinyl. The other versions of SHA I was familiar with were the Parlophone '93 CD remaster, and the 2011 streaming version.
So before I get to reviewing the sound here, let's discuss Sheer Heart Attack. Without a doubt, one of Queen's best and most cohesive albums, and the first that truly showcased their wild creativity, effortless diversity, not to mention campy bombast. It's my favourite Queen record of the 70s, and their most digestible dish before they went completely over the top with the excessive Night at the Opera.
So then, on to this 2015 pressing. How does it sound? Absolutely superb. Lots of definition without being harsh or brittle. The low end booms without being overpowering. Stereo image is engaging without being exaggerated. The overall sound is full, thick and powerful.
Is there compression? Yes. Is it distracting? In some moments, but nothing to detract from the overall experience. Ludwig and co. have delivered a sound this is truly engaging.
There is some noise going on beneath the craziness, audible only during the outros of Now I'm Here and Lap of the Gods Revisited.
Ignore the snobby audiophiles trashing the sound here. The truth is Queen never were an audiophile-type of group. They just made fun, awesome music that was, in Freddie's own words, made for listening to then disposing of.
Looking forward to grabbing the rest of the Ludwig remasters! - The good: sounds great, very quiet and detailed. Probably the same as 2015 virgin pressing, but not sure. This is a great album, and hearing it on vinyl is a great experience. The cover art is great too, which is not a given in this day and age.
The bad: no poly sleeve. There’s a huge stain all over “she make me..” but luckily doesn’t affect the sound. Still weird that it passed any quality control.
Would buy again. - Horrible static sound on 3 copies of track 1. Dunno if this is a pressing flaw or what but it's obnoxious
- Side A is amazing but side B seems to have a little bit of muffled voices by the bass overpowering but that’s not to bad. Does anyone else have that problem?

This version should have 4 cuts corner images, but the photos are misleading.
Can someone please correct the images on this version?
