Queen - Sheer Heart Attack (Rough Version)

This version of Sheer Heart Attack comes from the 2017 News Of The World 40th Anniversary "Raw Sessions" CD by Bob Ludwig and was released on November 17th, 2017 in the UK. Unfortunately, this release from 2017 has autotune/pitch correction done on the lead vocals on many tracks. Some of which are more obvious than others. Sheer Heart Attack was originally written for the album of the same name. It didn't make the cut for that album, or the two that followed. Finally, Roger and the band decided it fit the stripped down, raw concept of News Of The World. This original rough mix starts with some banter from Roger before it goes into its original long-lost intro. The whole track is instrumental, except for some backing vocals... "Sheeeeeeeer Heart Attack!" Roger plays all the instruments along with some guitar from Brian. Also of note, this version has a longer, uncut ending that didn't appear on the album version.
