Paul McCartney & Lond Symphony Orchestra - Junk video free download

Paul's thirtieth "solo" album release, and third classical outing.

Credited as: Orchestral and Chamber Music by Paul McCartney.

For the title of this collection, Paul is quoted as saying,

"I called it "Working Classical" because I've always had a bit of difficulty with the word "classical" with regard to music. "Classical" is often thought of as "serious" music, but that then denegrates all the other music I've done with the Beatles which I don't think was all humorous. There's some quite serious stuff there. So I prefer to call it "orchestral". I'm also very proud of my working class roots. A lot of people like to turn their backs on their past, especially when they get a little bit elevated in life - but I am always keen to remind other people, and myself, of where I'm from. I don't want to lose my roots. I'm always working class, I'm always from Liverpool and my roots are always in rock 'n' roll - but I like the odd cello !

So, I just saw this interesting pun made from "Classical" and "working class" and I thought, "Well, that's a kind of neat title", and it takes the edge off the classical to have a little bit of a pun with it."
