Paul McCartney has confirmed on Radio 4 that the unheard experimental 14-minute Beatles song ‘Carnival Of Light’ exists, and he has hinted that the song might be released soon.

The song was recorded in 1967 for an electronic music festival, but it was never released or heard since.

Paul told BBC Radio 4’s Front Row: “The time has come for it to get its moment. I like it because it’s The Beatles free, going off piste. 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 an echo on it. It’s very free.”

This should be interesting to hear what it sounds like.
