Macca discusses possible release for "mythical" / "lost" / "probably a bit of a druggy mess" Beatles track

All Fab Freaks, Beatle Buffs and Pepper People will be aware of "Carnival Of Light", an unreleased piece of experimental music recorded by The Beatles in 1967 duing the vocal over-dubbing session for Penny Lane. Listed in 'The Complete Beatles Chronicle' as lasting just under 14 minutes, the free-form 'freak-out' was instigated by Paul McCartney, who had been asked to contribute some avant-garde music for a festival of electronic sound (The Million Volt Light & Sound Rave) held at the Roundhouse in London. Beatles scholar Mark Lewishom reported in his 'The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions' that the track consists of "distorted, hypnotic drum and organ sounds, a distorted lead guitar, the sound of a church organ, various effects (water gargling was one) and, perhaps most intimidating of all, John Lennon and McCartney screaming dementedly and bawling aloud random phrases like 'Are you alright?' and 'Barcelona!'" Plans for 'Carnival Of Light's inclusion on Anthology Two were apparently scotched by Harrison and Starr, and it remains the numero uno lost Beatles Holy Grail. Personally I ain't holding my breath, but Macca has made noises recently about a possible release, and you can hear him discussing it, in interview with Radio 4's Front Row...HERE
