Sir Paul McCartney has confirmed that 'Carnival of Light', an epic 14 minute track recorded by The Beatles over forty years ago, exists and could be released in the near future.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4 presenter John Wilson, McCartney confirmed that the band recoded the track 5 January 1967 in-between recording Penny Lane and that he likes it because "it's the Beatles free, going off piste". He added that "he would love to release the track. All he needs now is the blessing of Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono and George Harrison's widow Olivia."
Beatles producer Sir George Martin, described the track as "a kind of uncomposed free-for-all melange of sound".
Dude! “You Know My Name” is GREAT! “Mary Jane” isn’t exactly my cup of tea, but it’s got its moments.
In A Gadd Da Vida is sort of a classic. 14 minutes of noise by the Beatles or anybody else is a long waste of time IMHO. Does Paul need the money that badly?
That ought to be Laura Ingraham's theme song.
I was just going to say it sounds like a mixture of Revolution #9 and Helter Skelter.
The LOVE album was pretty good, but I was disappointed in the Spectorless Let It Be release. This sounds like just another way to make money.
To each his own. I hit FF when it comes up in the playlist.
Yikes. Please,not.

Probably describes how the track sounds...
Paul was doing the experimentation before John.
Maybe so, but Yoko is crazier than a rat in a coffee can.
