Getting back

The Beatles are back. Sort of. Paul McCartney is preparing to release "Carnival of Light," a 14-minute experimental track the Fab Four recorded in 1967 but never released. It reportedly includes distorted guitar, organ sounds, gargling, and shouts of "Barcelona!" and "Are you all right?" from McCartney and John Lennon. "I like it because it's the Beatles free," McCartney told the BBC in a radio interview to be broadcast Thursday. Extracts of the interview were published yesterday in The Observer newspaper.
