Sir Paul McCartney hints at one last unreleased Beatle's song

An almost unheard, experimental track by The Beatles may finally be released 41 years after it was recorded at Abbey Road studios, said Sir Paul recently.

McCartney, told BBC Radio that "Carnival of Light" was The Beatles at their most free, "going off piste." [Editor's note: I didn't know the phrase off piste but dictionaries and the Wikipedia say it is "skiing in a sparsely inhabited rural region over ungroomed and unmarked slopes or pistes. More importantly, the land and the snow pack are not monitored, patrolled, or maintained. Fixed mechanical means of ascent such as ski lifts are typically not present. Backcountry skiing can be highly dangerous due to the avalanche risk..." ]

If this "tune" is anything like Sir Paul describes it, it will be a rock and roll treasure. Think Revolution No. 9 (a "song" I've always loved, and was stunned when I heard it in in 1968) to the Nth degree.

It sounds tantalizing. Maybe Revolution No. 9 in overdrive, "I said it would be great to put this on because it would show we were working with really avant-garde stuff," McCartney told Radio 4. 's According to the BBC, McCartney had wanted to include the track on The Beatles' Anthology compilations in the mid-1990s, but the rest of the band vetoed the idea. The rest of the band now includes Ringo and George Harrison and John Lennon's lawyers. Good luck with that, Macca!
