Believe me when I tell you..there was no bigger Beatles freak than me at age 14. I owned everything I could get my hands on by them. Fan club flexi disks, posters, VHS movies, books, etc..

I was the type who bought multiple copies of their albums from different countries just because the vinyl was different/better (Japan for sure) or the cover was a slightly different shade. I owned 62-66 on red vinyl, 67-70 on blue and The White Album on white (not to mention Apple and the brown Capital label). So now when I hear (again) of another unreleased track I should be thrilled. I think 'Free As a Bird" or "Real Love" or "the decca session". Nope. It's a soundtrack to an LCD rave from 67. The recording was only played once in public and I think I know why and it's what people  apparently aren't hearing. "Experimental"and "Avant Garde" are being plainly said by those in the know as well as the fact that Paul tried to release this a few years ago and George and Ringo said "no way". Actually George said "Avant Garde a clue.."

People need to realize that this recording IF released will be as melodious and pleasing as Revolution 9 was. So get ready for all the backlash when it's eventually heard. WHY Paul wants to put it out is beyond me. He doesn't need the money...of course based on my earlier blog about Ringo maybe HE does.

An "off piste" 14-minute experimental Beatles track which many fans did not believe existed could soon be released, Paul McCartney said in comments released Monday.

"Carnival Of Light" was recorded for an electronic music festival in 1967 -- between takes of "Penny Lane", one of the band's most famous songs -- but was never released because the other Beatles deemed it too weird.

Explaining the recording process, McCartney told BBC radio: "I said 'all I want you to do is just wander around all the stuff, bang it, shout, play it, it doesn't need to make any sense.

"Hit a drum then wander on to the piano, hit a few notes, just wander around.'

"So that's what we did and then put a bit of echo on it... I like it because it's the Beatles free, doing off piste."

McCartney says the track, which he initiated, was inspired by the works of avant garde composers John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhausen.

It features a church organ, distorted lead guitar, gargling water and McCartney and John Lennon screaming words and phrases like "Barcelona" and "are you alright?"

The former Beatles bassist said he still has a master tape of the recording, adding: "The time has come for it to get its moment.

But before it can be released, he must get the consent of the only other living Beatle, Ringo Starr, plus Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison, the widows of Lennon and George Harrison, the Observer newspaper reported.

Its release would show fans that the Beatles were working on "really avant garde stuff" as well as more conventional pop tunes, McCartney said.

McCartney's comments, to be broadcast in full Thursday, come as he releases a third album under his experimental alias, the Fireman.
