The Thrillington album is one of the few genuinely rare, legitimate commercial LP releases
in Paul McCartney's output, mostly a result of its never having been officially credited to McCartney
or publicized as one of his releases. An orchestral/instrumental version
of Paul & Linda McCartney's Ram album, Thrillington is a very potent work in its own right.
Arranged and conducted by Richard Hewson, it avoids the temptation to deliver flaccid elevator music,
in favor of very precise playing and finely detailed arrangements. The orchestrations incorporate
elements of big-band swing and very elegantly realized pop music, with occasional backing
by scatted and vamped choruses, courtesy of the Swingle Singers,
who call up memories of the Hi-Los at various points here...(AllMusic)
