This is something my Dad brought back from London in late /67-early ‘68. It was transferred to cd in 1998.
He was told it was the Beatles ‘Carnival of Light’, but I’ll let the experts decided.

See what you think.

Here’s my dream EP:

1) Now and Then
2) Carnival of LIght
3) Helter Skelter (27 minute version)
4) All For Love

Let that close out the book. Release that to stores on the same day the catalog becomes available on iTunes.

It wouldn’t be an EP, look at the lenght, almost 49 minutes: it could be a great LP.

To comment on an earlier post; Let it Be Naked is a much beeter representation of a follow up to the White Album than the Spectorized Let it Be. Don’t get me wrong both albums are listenable. I am thinking Carnival of Light is was made public already. So it should be out again. More people are aware and ready for itt and the Rave is just larger. It’s Probably a continuous ‘Flying’ sounding 12-Bar Original thing with those CHI Chi Cafe stuff that’s in Revolution 9…’Mary Jane’ feel with that warm Sgt Pepper album feel.

This is not about the advent of World War III. This is about releasing a single pop music recording. Could the Guardian critic take his self-righteous indignation down three or four notches?

p.s. Anyone who thinks Phil Spector’s production for Let It Be was “the one thing that made the album listenable” should be be writing about a subject other than music.

Carnival of Light isn’t music, it’s something beyond “You know my name” so I doubt I will ever throw it on but since it’s the Beatles I want it but I’m not dying for it.

I’m dying for Let It Be the entire rooftop concert on DVD, Shea Concert on DVD, Japan 1966 on DVD and the entire catalog remastered. Those I want now.

Being such an obsure piece of music, and music that won’t be appreciated by many–I’d suggest that if Paul wants it released, issue it as part of a limited edition bonus CD of rarities when the remixed/remasters are issued next year. That way it sees the light of day but only for a limited amount of time will you be able to purchase that version if inclined to.

There’s obviously more Beatle fans that want to hear it, then those who don’t.
So why deprive us from another musical masterpiece?
And if you don’t want to hear it, just don’t listen to it, and let the others enjoy it.

(I just wanted to add that to my earlier comment )

“Carnival Of Light” should be released. Should have seen the light of day on Anthology… I wonder why George was so opposed?

By the way, in reply to an earlier post, Phil Spector took in some cases poorly performed material and polished it up to presentable quality. Listen to “The Long And Winding Road” without Spector’s orchestration and you are treated to an awful Lennon bass track. Let It Be…Naked is no better than a rehearsal tape. Let it be.

I don’t mind hearing an interesting artifact at all. Anyone who wants to stick to the “official” tunes is welcome to…
