Thrillington is an album produced by English musician Paul McCartney, under the pseudonym Percy "Thrills" Thrillington. It was released in April 1977 in the UK and in May 1977 in the US. It is an instrumental covers album of Paul and Linda McCartney's 1971 album Ram. Recorded in June 1971, the album was shelved upon the formation of Wings, and was not released for nearly six years. When Thrillington was finally issued, it did not attract much attention, and did not chart. McCartney initially kept his involvement with the project a secret; nevertheless, the project's nature and the rather bizarre pseudonym chosen for the credited artist led the few contemporary reviewers who wrote about Thrillington to conclude that "Percy Thrillington" was in fact McCartney working incognito. McCartney formally revealed himself to be Percy Thrillington in 1989, and the following year also admitted to being "Clint Harrigan", who wrote the album's liner notes.

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. "Three Legs" swings like a latter-day Count Basie cut, while "Dear Boy" comes off as light, Swingle Singers-style jazz; "Heart of the Country" is a scat vocal feast by the Swingles; "Eat at Home" is done as a big-band reggae instrumental that would have delighted big-band ska king Byron Lee; and "Monkberry Moon Delight" is a treat for fans of luscious trumpet and trombone work. "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey," not surprisingly, is the most complicated cut on the album, two distinct halves, a pop/rock combo augmented by recorder flutes augmented by trumpets and strings handling the principal melody in the first half, and then a second half highlighted by a harpsichord. What makes these and the other cuts a special pleasure for fans of the original album is that they all retain their beat, even as Hewson's arrangements carry them in some surprising directions. The tragedy is that almost no one has heard this most interesting of McCartney's albums – cut during June of 1971, it was forgotten amid the burgeoning activity surrounding Wings; the album sat on the shelf for six years until Paul and Linda McCartney started playing with the name Percy Thrillington, spreading phony stories to the gossip pages and taking out ads announcing his social and musical activities in London; and then it came out as Thrillington, appearing in England (and later America) with no explanation or publicity, sandwiched in between the releases of Wings Over America and London Town.
