The Beatles 'lost' track

Was reading the news item about the fourteen minute 'lost' Beatles track, 'Carnival Of Light'.

Pretty sure it's not going to be a real classic but what i was wonder how 'lost' it really is?
Before the 'Anthology' series, pretty much all the tracks were out there if you knew where to look. So is this fresh from Macca's archives or just an official release of a long know of bootleg?

Lost Or Abandoned? From what

Lost Or Abandoned?

From what I read, it's just a bunch of noise and screaming between takes of Penny Lane. It sounds like it was just a psychedelic jam session.

I'd be interested to hear it, but I'm far from excited about it.

just like every dead music

just like every dead music hero's back catalog of demos, outtakes and live 'rarities' it's the stuff that ended up on the floor when the tapes were cut or got stored as it was shite at that time.

Even listening to the last hendrix album that was put together from scratch tracks and bits was never all too great.

Maybe Sir Paul has the requirement to up the funds for paying the cyborg off.

I still haven’t been able

I still haven’t been able to find this song anywhere, I remember I read about it before in a Beatles catalog printing but after hunting for ages across the internet I still can’t find it. As other have said it’s probably not that good but for any die hard Beatles fan it’s an interesting listen anyway.
