Unreleased Beatle's track "Carnival of Light" to come out....

[darkstar]

So it really does exist. The 14-minute "Carnival of Light" track, long the stuff of Beatles legend, will finally see the light of day, according to Paul McCartney, who says he's always been fond of the experimental noodling "because it's the Beatles free, going off piste." The track is said to feature distorted electric guitars, discordant sound effects, a church organ, and gargling sounds, as well as McCartney and John Lennon screaming phrases like "Barcelona" and "Are you all right?"

1. Odd that it's never surfaced on a bootleg (or at least none that I've heard)

I just hope it's not a complete waste of time like "What's the New Mary Jane?"

2. Wonder what George Martin thinks of it?

With John and George gone, his opinion is the one I'd trust on it

3. All cleared and ready to go?

Stories I read this weekend said he had to get Ringo, Yoko, and Olivia Harrison's permission first. And that he wanted it to be on one of the Beatles Anthology cds but the others nixed it...I'd love to hear it but I'm sure it's bound to be interesting but a little bit disappointing.
