"Cornelius Cardew sangat terkenal di Inggris, karena ia adalah kesayangan avant-garde, dan ia bermain di sebuah band bernama AMM, yang merupakan band improvisasi di tahun 60-an. Paul McCartney biasa menonton mereka. Di kemudian hari, dia menjadi kecewa dengan musik avant-garde, karena dia merasa tidak bisa menjangkau publik. Itu tidak memiliki daya tarik yang cukup luas. Jadi dia mengambil lagu-lagu rakyat Inggris kuno ini dan menulis lirik Stalinis di atasnya. Saya berpikir bahwa ketika dia berganti ke lagu-lagu daerah, dia benar-benar kehilangan audiens kecil yang sudah dia miliki, yang cukup menarik."

--- Alasdair MacLean

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Cornelius Cardew very famous in Britain, because he was the darling of the avant-garde, and he played in a band called AMM, which was an improvising band in the '60s. Paul McCartney used to come watch them. Later on in life, he became disenchanted with avant-garde music, because he felt it couldn't reach the public. It didn't have a wide enough appeal. So he'd take these tunes of old English folk songs and write Stalinist lyrics over the top of them. I do think that when he changed to folk songs, he actually lost the tiny audience he already had, which is quite interesting.
