According to yesterday’s Sunday Times, Paul McCartney will release a Beatles track which hasn't been heard for 35 years as the soundtrack to a film montage of pictures of the band taken by Paul’s late wife Linda. The track, ‘Carnival Of Light’, is apparently 14 minutes long, and largely instrumental featuring church organ music, the sound of gargling with water and John Lennon shouting "Barcelona". The track was recorded during sessions for the ‘Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ album. Word is McCartney wanted to include the track on one of the ’Anthology’ CDs of Beatles rarities released in the 1990s, but the late George Harrison vetoed it as "too far out".
