Paul wants to release "Carnival of Light". One of the rarest of Beatles tracks (right up there, I think, with the 27-minute version of "Helter Skelter"), and Paul's been trying to release it for quite some time. It was very nearly on Anthology 3, except that George was against it (he famously quipped that it was their failed attempt at experimentalism, calling it "avant garde a clue"). I'm pretty sure it'll be listed alongside "What's the New Mary Jane" and "Revolution 9" as being only for purists but otherwise unlistenable, but I'm quite curious about it myself. Maybe because I'm a completist, no? :p

Avant garde a clue. *lol* I didn't know George was funny :D

Oh, he had a wicked sense of humor. :p

My favorite one of his, which may or may not be real, was when they were flying out of San Francisco after the last ever Beatles live show at Candlestick: "That's it, I'm not a Beatle anymore." :p
