Hi everybody,
I've been lurking for a bit, and I finally decided to sign up on this board. I've been a Beatles/McCartney fan for a bit over 23y now, and unlike most of the people who regularly post here, I am a non-believer (= I still think the original JPM is alive, releasing records, and playing live). Don't hate me tho, even tho I will probably ask questions and say silly things. I found this board after watching Iamaphoney videos on youtube. Cheers!

percythrillington, I love your name.
THRILLINGTON - from the wikipedia
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.
Released in April 1977, and with no mention of McCartney's name whatsoever—save in the main liner notes where he is described as a friend of Percy's—Thrillington went unnoticed upon its release and quickly became a hot collector's item. It was re-issued on CD in 1995 and 2004.
WAAAAAAYYYYY COOOOOLLLLL !!!! ;D

I found this board after watching Iamaphoney videos on youtube. Would NEVER hate you. I love to hear other views - even though at this point I am a believer.

Percy, many of the people who come here ( myself included) have been doing so for years. We feel that it is worth our time & effort. If we didn't believe wholeheartedly that something is not quite right, we wouldn't be here. So, if someone comes along & treats what we have put our hearts into as if it's a big joke, it will tend to piss a few people off. And no, I don't hate you. As far as I'm concerned, everyone is more than entitled to their opinion concerning this issue.
