Punks, proggers, pub rockers, … everybody wants to sell records. Back in the day, long before we all went online, bands and record labels would have to draw attention to their latest offspring through print advertising. Considering the inventiveness and atmosphere of some of these vintage music ads, it now seems a bit of a lost art. Let’s start off with my favourite example …

Love that Queen one! That album has perhaps one of the most under-appreciated Queen track of all- Sheer Heart Attack (which wasn’t finished in time for the release of their album of the same name)- Queen’s take on punk rock right at the beginning of the movement. SO GOOD!!

Thanks for commenting. I share your opinion. The song is underrated. In fact, I always had a soft spot for the lesser known songs on that album. It might have been Queen’s first more or less straightforward rock album, but it went about everywhere. I also think they were never as powerful live as they were in that period.
Do you know all the other albums on the list?
