McCartney Contemplates Releasing Long Lost Beatles Track
As hard as it is to believe, there may be an unreleased Beatles track that hasn't seen the light of day. "Carnival Of Light," a 14 minute improvised song recorded by the Fab Four in 1967, was never released because George Harrison deemed the experimental track too radical for their fans, calling it "avant-garde a clue." The song has been buried in the proverbial vault since it was played for the first and only time at a London festival. Seeing as every single note The Beatles played must be heard and dissected, Paul McCartney is planning to release it. Expectations should be tempered for the release: McCartney has described the song as "a bit indulgent" and "very free" so it's unlikely that this is some sort of missing epic along the line of "I Am The Walrus" or "Strawberry Fields Forever."
