McCartney to release unpublished Beatles track?

Nearly 40 years after The Beatles’ breakup, former member Paul McCartney has hinted at an imminent release of “Carnival of Light”, an unpublished track recorded in January 1967.
The theme reveals one of the quartet’s experimental stages, McCartney said in an interview to be broadcast by BBC on Thursday, with excerpts released by The Observer daily.
The author of anthological songs including “Yesterday” and “Hey, Jude” had commented in October that he only needed permission from Ringo Starr and Lennon and George Harrison’s widows to publish it.
“Carnival of Light” is a 14-minute piece, which was performed in public in an electronic music festival in London in February 1967, according to The Complete Beatles Chronicle.
It features electro-acoustic resources, including “distorted drum, guitar, church organ sounds, and special effects such as a person gargling, as well as intimidating, crazy shouts by Lennon and McCartney,” according to expert Mark Lewisohn, who is said to have listened to it in 1987 while he was gathering information for his The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions book.
