Originally recorded in 1971 but not released until in 1977, THRILLINGTON is perhaps the most obscure album to be issued by a former Beatles. Long Out of print in the U.S. this is one of the *best* copies you could hope to find....
In 1971, Paul McCartney commissioned arranger and conductor Richard Hewson to create an alternate version of his then-recent Ram album. Instead of just a straight reading of the album, the recordings became an exciting aural feast of Easy Listening clich‚s that incorporated elements of Soft Rock, Big Band Swing and Jazz. The resulting recordings, which were produced by McCartney himself, sat on the shelf for six years before being released very quietly in 1977 without any fanfare. McCartney used the pseudonym Percy Thrillington so only the faithful fans knew of it's existence. Once the public caught on, the album had already been deleted and long gone....with no mention of McCartney's name whatsoever — save in the main liner notes where he is described as a friend of Percy — Thrillington went unnoticed upon its release where it became a sort of collector's item—not a hot one for there was some doubt as to whether Thrillington was really Paul McCartney and the role he played in it. McCartney was never asked about his role in that album until he finally admitted it to journalist Peter Palmiere at a Los Angeles press conference on November 27, 1989 during the second leg of his world tour. McCartney told Palmiere "What a great question to end the conference. The world needs to know! But seriously it was me and Linda—and we kept it a secret for a long time but now the world knows!— you blew it!" After the admission, the album nearly tripled in value.
