And For You Beatles Fans: A 41-year old track

A 14-minute, improvised, experimental track recorded by the Beatles which was considered unworthy of being issued under their name may be released 41 years after its only public performance, Sir Paul McCartney has revealed.

"Carnival of Light", which the band laid down in January 1967, features distorted guitars and drum-beats, gargling, church organs, and Sir Paul and John Lennon yelling: "Are you all right?" and "Barcelona!"

Although it was performed at an electronic music festival that year, the audience were unaware it was a Beatles track and the band later shelved it, feeling it was too adventurous.
