    Just been made aware of "Stone Cold Crazy", that's like a proto-thrash track, monster.

      The "Brighton Rock" intro is the same audio from Rainbow's (8) "Prelude To The Music Makers Concerto" from the album After The Storm.

        Think I may have a 12th variant? Side one is YAX-4881-3U OO 2 TML-S . Side 2 is YAX-4882-4U HA 4 . Inner matches exactly what's described here. Outer is one of the ones that's missing the trident logo on the back. If anyone can give me any information on the copy I have I'd appreciate it!

          Sheer Heart Attack is the third studio album by the British rock band Queen, released in 1974. The album from which the band became famous, and the song "Killer Queen" became their first big hit.

            This is the closest I can find to the version I have - mine has 4 cut corners on the inner sleeve rather than 3, and YAX 4881-4U' and 'YAX 4882-4U' stamped in the runout on sides 1 and 2 respectively. Appreciate any help identifying this exact release, thanks.

              Really struggling to identify my LP version. Can anyone help me?

              It's a UK pressing, EMI and with Trident logo on bottom right of outer sleeve. Inner sleeve has four cut corners (this is partly what is throwing me!) with the crest not right in the bottom corner, and no copyright info below this. Disc has Trident logo on labels, and the codes 'YAX 4881-4U' and 'YAX 4882-4U' stamped in the runout.

              I'm not sure if I should add this as a new version, or if I am missing something in one of the existing. Thanks for any !

                Just added another variant (#9) of this pressing (from my copy). The sleeve is laminated. Should it be included in the notes as well? What do you think?

                  "Tenement Funster" includes an exclamation point only on the label but not on the sleeve or inner.

                    Hi I have and earlier matrix that is mention in some specific Queen page. Matrix is 3U/3U seems to be the most rarest record from Queen. All other identifiers for the 1st press are correct as well.
                    Somebody can confirm?
                    Regards.

                      Got a Scandinavian issue, Made in Sweden, ncb, EMI 7C 062-96025, with yellow labels and small red boxed EMI. And got another, Made in Sweden, ncb, EMC 3061, with big red EMI on left side of label. Inner sleeve on this one is stiff, with small photos of band on back. None of them to be found on discogs.
