Biography
Thrillington is a 1977 album by Paul McCartney, under the pseudonym of Percy “Thrills” Thrillington. The album is an instrumental cover version of Paul and Linda McCartney’s 1971 album, RAM. Arranger Richard Hewson was asked to arrange the orchestration before Ram had yet been released and it was recorded in June 1971—with McCartney as producer—and with an intended release shortly thereafter. Paul and wife Linda’s decision to form Wings resulted in the album being shelved until 1977. In preparation for the release of Thrillington, McCartney invented the fictitious socialite Percy Thrillington, and even took out ads in various UK music papers announcing Thrillington’s so-called comings and goings to generate curiosity and interest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrillington
