Inside the Beatles’ Lost ‘Sgt. Pepper’-Era Track ‘Carnival of Light’
Citando:
"But there’s one track recorded during the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band sessions that’s a holy grail of sorts for fans: an experimental piece from early 1967 called “Carnival of Light,” which can be thought of as a precursor to the White Album‘s “Revolution 9.” (There were rumors that the song would finally get an official release on Sgt. Pepper‘s expanded reissue, but it didn’t show up there.)
The song was created for two events that were being held at London’s Roundhouse Theatre on Jan. 28 and Feb. 4 that was alternately known as both the Million Volt Light and Sound Rave or the Carnival of Light Rave. David Vaughan, who was promoting the happenings, asked Paul McCartney to contribute some music, and the Beatle agreed. On Jan. 5, 1967, during a break in the sessions for “Penny Lane,” they created “Carnival of Light.”
In November 2008, McCartney told the BBC what his instructions to the other three Beatles were. “I said all I want you to do is just wander around all the stuff, bang it, shout, play it, it doesn’t need to make any sense,” he said. “Hit a drum then wander on to the piano, hit a few notes, just wander around. So that’s what we did and then put a bit of an echo on it. It’s very free.”"
