Asked by artist Peter Blake
to create something musical and with a Liverpool spirit to it, in order to complement his concurrent artwork exhibition, McCartney ended up harking all the way back to session chatter by The Beatles
(hence their "involvement") and using snippets of his 1991 classical piece Paul McCartney's Liverpool Oratorio
. He also can be heard walking the streets and asking various pedestrians to give their impressions of Liverpool and The Beatles.
Liverpool Sound Collage was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album
.
