The Impossible Dream was the third album by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, released October 4, 1974. The album was released separately on CD but can be hard to find; however, the CD is widely available on a 2-in-1 album, the other album being Tomorrow Belongs to Me. It was the band's first release to chart, peaking at No. 16 on the UK Album Chart. "Anthem" was the last single released by SAHB in the U.S.
Between March 26–4 April 1974 at Advision Studios, London, the SAHB had recorded an album with producer Shel Talmy. It remained unreleased until 2009 when it was released as Hot City. Many of the songs were re-recorded for The Impossible Dream.
