Standing Stone, Paul McCartney's second full-length classical music work, was released in 1997.You see the CD occasionally on eBay, but hardly ever the vinyl version.
McCartney received the commission from by Richard Lyttleton, the president of EMI Classics, to write the work as part of EMI's centenary celebrations.
The cover photography was by Linda McCartney, and was from the 1969/1970 collection that adorned the gatefold sleeve of the McCartney album.
Standing Stone topped the classical charts in both the US and UK, and briefly entered the pop charts. The premiere of Standing Stone took place at the Royal Albert Hall in London on 14 October. The film of the concert was broadcast on the newly-launched Channel 5 in the UK on Christmas Day 1997.
