Mythical Beatles track does exist
Sooooooo , there really is a "lost' Beatles track !!! Speculated about for years , Paul Mcartney ( I can't Call him Sir )finally pulls one out ! I always thought he would be the type to take something like this to his grave!!!!
maybe all the estates can be reasonable enough to come to an agreement and put the song out ?( Don't hold your breath!!! ) BBC NEWS
....
Sir Paul McCartney has confirmed a 14-minute long Beatles track many thought was a myth does exist - and says he wants the public to hear it.
He told BBC Radio 4's Front Row the track - called Carnival of Light - was not released because the other Beatles thought it was too "adventurous".
The improvised track was recorded in 1967 for an electronic music festival.
Sir Paul said Ringo Starr and John Lennon and George Harrison's estates would have to agree to a release.
He said he had been asked to create the piece for an electronic music festival, and asked the other band members to be "indulgent" for 10 minutes at London's Abbey Road studios before giving them vague directions.
Sir Paul explained: "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."
The track was played just once, at the festival, and is said to include distorted guitar, organ sounds, gargling and band members shouting phrases such as "Barcelona!" and "Are you all right?"
Sir Paul said he was fond of the track, which was inspired by experimental composers John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhausen: "I like it because it's The Beatles free, going off piste."
He said he still had a master tape of the piece, adding: "The time has come for it to get its moment."
Sir Paul had wanted to include the track on the Beatles' Anthology compilations in the mid-1990s, but the rest of the band vetoed the idea.
He said: "I said it would be great to put this on because it would show we were working with really avant-garde stuff."
The full interview will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4's Front Row on Thursday 20 November at 1915 GMT.

Mark David Chapman tells his version of John Lennon slay
Speaking of the Beatles , I hope Mark David Chapman , rots his miserable life away in Prison ,Changed man or not he committed a brutal crime , Shooting an innocent man in the back just because He felt that he was "phony" regardless of who it is , should equal the death penalty! So heres to you Mark D Chapman , and Denied Parole again !
You are a "Big nothing And a NOBODY" Daily news
....
The man who killed John Lennon says he's sorry he shot the legendary rocker - but disputed media reports on how the murder went down.
"I shot him in the back," Mark David Chapman told a two-person Parole Board panel last week during a hearing before being denied release for a fifth time.
He denied longstanding media accounts that he called out to Lennon as he and his wife, Yoko Ono, returned to their Dakota building apartment after a late-night recording session.
"I don't recall saying, 'Mr. Lennon,'" Chapman said. "I think that was something the press elaborated on. That didn't happen. He didn't turn. I shot him in the back."
Chapman, who is serving a 20-year-to-life sentence at the upstate Attica Correctional Facility for the Dec. 8, 1980, murder, said he's not the same man today.
"I am ashamed," Chapman said. "I am sorry for what I did. That 25-year-old man, I don't think he appreciated the life he was taking, that this was a human being.
"I feel now at 53 that I have grown into a deeper understanding of what a human life is. I have changed a lot."
Chapman said while he might have had a beer that day, he was not on drugs and was of "clear mind" when he succumbed to his "compulsion" to kill Lennon.
He said he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder "for my conscience's sake. I felt the Lord had told me to plead guilty at that time, and I did."
Chapman retold how he traveled to New York City twice to kill Lennon.
"I had been going through some problems and was very confused ... and was feeling like a big nothing and a nobody," he said.
He had taken out some books on Lennon from the library and felt he was a "phony" for singing of love while living in a ritzy building.
"It was more about me and not him, I was probably mad at myself for my failures," he said.
The last straw was when he saw Lennon's face on the Sgt. Pepper's album cover.
"I just saw his face and it seemed like it all came together, the solution to my problem of being confused and feeling like a nobody," he said. "And I said, 'Wouldn't it be something if I killed this individual? I would become famous, I would be something other than a nobody.' And that was my reasoning at the time."
He recalled how he bought a gun with hollow-point bullets from a friend in Georgia, telling him it was simply for protection in New York City.
After returning to Hawaii following an aborted first attempt, "The urges built again about doing this, and then I flew back on Dec. 6, and on the 8th I shot Mr. Lennon."
Ono asked the board to deny Chapman parole.
The board agreed, saying his release would "not be compatible with the welfare of society at large."
