PERCY THRILLS THRILLINGTON UK ORIG LP PAUL McCARTNEY
PERCY THRILLS THRILLINGTON - THRILLINGTON
ORIGINAL 1977 REGAL ZONOPHONE (UK) LP (EMC 3175)
In 1977, EMI released what has become Paul McCartney's most obscure and least known album of his career - Thrillington. The album, an instrumental, orchestrated version of his Ram LP, was hardly noticed by the press or the rest of the music world. Hardly surprising, considering the almost complete absence of Paul's name anywhere on the album. Even the artist was listed as someone else - somebody named Percy "Thrills" Thrillington. Time has revealed that the man behind Percy was none other than Paul McCartney. As chronicled in the Spring 1995 issue of Club Sandwich, McCartney's official fan club newsletter, Paul & Linda dreamed up the idea of the fictional socialite, going as far as placing ads in British newspapers detailing his whereabouts and announcing his upcoming activities (there were, of course, none). The sessions for the instrumental album were set up for June 15, 16 and 17 at Abbey Road, barely two weeks after the release of Ram. Richard Hewson had Laurie Gold of the studio's booking department arrange for "some of London's best musicians," as it says on the back of the LP's liner notes, to be booked for the three days of sessions.
