[@SM347YT]

Now And Then has been released and went straight to number 1. McCartney even performs it live!

[@urwholefamilydied]

It's also NOT a beatles song. It's a Lennon demo that became a McCartney project. Lennon didn't approve of it, Harrison didn't want to do it and probably isn't even on the finished track. Ringo did not want to do it either. This was another Paul McCartney project to relive the Beatles. I'll give Free as a Bird a pass and Real Love because at least all three surviving members participated. They were actually two pretty good Lennon tracks. And it just felt right and exciting in the mid 90's to do that. Doing the same idea 30 years later with George dead and Ringo not wanting to do it... sorry, this is just a Paul project and does not count as a "Beatles song". (technically Real Love and Free as a Bird don't count either, but I think they get a pass... don't water it down Paul with ANOTHER one that's worse)

[@spareroomdemos2006]

One mistake is that you say George Harrison did not like experimental music. Of course that is untrue. He later worked with Lennon on Revolution 9 and also an early solo album of his was Electronic Music

[@tagoldich]

'Colliding Circles' might well have been 'Circles', the George Harrison demo from the White Album era. It was released on the 2018 expanded White Album. There's also a solo version from Gone Troppo in 1982.

[@andyallan2909]

'The Palace of the King of Birds,' is not a George Harrison song it's a Paul McCartney one. It was released on Paul's Rupert cartoon video with a slightly changed title: "The Castle of the King of Birds." The song, "Pink Litmus Paper Shirt," that you played, was a widely circulated bootleg, the title of which is, "Peace of Mind," and it's already been well established that it's not the Beatles. "Madman," gradually changed into, "Mean Mister Mustard" (on Abbey Road) and "Now and Then" has already been released. So basically, your 7 NEVER before ... etc. is a load of crap.

Many Beatles fans have poured over hours and hours of unreleased material on a number bootlegs... Most of the unreleased stuff never got released for two reasons, it's similar to something else or it just wasn't good enough... I've heard tons of unreleased material, the good stuff is what got released, Anthology had a few tracks that were interesting, some demos that were given to BadFinger or Mary Hopkins, but the hidden gems aren't really out there anymore...

[@RedVynil]

I've had The Palace of the King of Birds for maybe 20 years. I have all the recordings from the Get Back sessions so, there's probably a few others there that never saw the light of day, other than those sessions. I haven't heard them in at least 10 years so, I'd have to sift through, again. "Now And Then" was released about a year ago. If George didn't like experimental music, why did he do most of the way-out psych tunes and the "Electronic Sound" album?

[@maddogmccoy3203]

I'm sure there are days and weeks worth of songs, on tape, somewhere in a vault that we will never get to hear, since they will be tied up in Paul's and Ringo's estates for decades AFTER they are both gone!...At 73, I'm not going to stress over missing it, since I got to be there from the beginning!...Just sayin'!

Colliding Circles doesn't exist. I have the article from USA Today. A writer started that rumour. George Martin was quoted as saying he wish he had a Quarter every time someone asked him about that.

[@patrickomalley8003]

There are dozens of songs (complete or partial) and jams sessions over the years that they were together that are still unreleased. But Pink litmus paper shirt and colliding circles are not valid songs. They were made up titles in an article in 67 in what today would be considered clickbait.

[@manuelfraiman5534]

The Beatles have issued every single piece that was worth listening to... With the notable exception of George's songs, probably overlooked... A lot of unreleased songs weren't that good, before being reshaped for their solo albums. Let's mention Jealous Guy, that, rewritten, ultimately found its way out and became this hit that we all sing

[@dailyflash]

The Beatles generally agreed that Carnival of Light is pretty crappy, and that's why we haven't heard it. Fans will be disappointed if we ever get to hear it. It's not a psychedelic masterpiece. It's noise. But, yeah, of course I want to hear it too!

[@PFNel]

From what I've heard about "Carnival of Light", it isn't a song at all, but an avant garde audio collage. I would say the same thing about "Revolution Number 9". You can only stretch the meaning of the word "song" so far.

[@misterd7843]

So McCartney masterminded 13 min of chaotic noise, distorted sounds & random shouts? Isn't that pretty much what John's "Revolution #9" was? Makes you wonder why, then, Paul & the others tried to keep #9 off the "White Album."

I didn't like "Carnival of Light", but I loved "The Palace of the King of the Birds". "Now and Then" was great! The rest presented here I had not heard before, but maybe for the best. However, recently I found close to two albums worth of rare tracks that The Beatles either gave away or just never recorded on an official record. There are many other rare hidden Beatles tunes. Check out the live BBC sessions and search KZbin for other tracks, like Lennon's 1968 "Child of Nature". Familiar melody?

[@Elias_Veine_Wiig]

@@bartonbishoff Well, I'd like to think that's it's actually on KZbin (!), but I don't believe it, sorry, and with the "Blue Meanies" with their Algorithms working overtime on KZbin, IF "Carnival Of Light" in Apple's bank of tracks to check for, it would get found pretty quickly & pulled down. However, It's such a rarity, I really doubt it's actually contained in their list of tracks/songs to check for, so maybe it's on KZbin somewhere, but understandably, I'd like proof, so unless someone can show the link, it's existence on KZbin will have to remain unsubstantiated. When there was serious debate over whether or nor not Lennon said the "He's not even the best drummer in the Beatles" quip (which he did not)...there was a guy online who claimed to have a tape of John saying it, so those who didn't believe it where getting shouted down, purely because someone said he had a recording, which turned out to be utter nonsense, as it was on a UK radio comedy show in 1983. My personal KZbin "Blue Meanies" example, I put up a "Private" access family vacation video, just for the immediate family (with links) to view, with "Hey Jude" playing in the background (in a pub scene) & it was very quickly pulled/taken down.....I had to silence that whole section just to to re-post it...

Why can’t we get releases of some of their concerts on CDs even though the quality may not be the best from historical standpoint there’s so much out there why not release Shea Stadium on DVD and CD along the weighted concert that we’ve all have been yearning forabout releasing the old I can’t remember the name of the series, but I used to have a bootleg LP set of all the let it be sessions

[@eleni1968]

The Beatles needed someone like Brian Eno for their experimental phase. George Martin was good for them in the beginning but by the late 60's early 70's they needed someone who can grow with them instead of stunting them. George Martin understood ambient and experimental music but it was not in his wheelhouse. I think the Beatles break up was not one thing, like Yoko Ono entering the scene, but rather running out of direction as a group and they needed a break and many other factors. They all sought separate paths and had very successful solo careers. After a 10 year hiatus they really should have reformed as the Beatles or under another name just so they could redefine themselves. Unfortunately history has proven what was fated.

[@magneto7930]

Hmm... not sure why Now and Then is included here, when you even included snippets of the recent official video. McCartney supposedly has the only copy of Etcetera. The Palace of the King of Birds was Paul's, not George's, used in the Rubert the Frog cartoon. I often wonder if Colliding Circles was really referring to Circles, written by George Harrison during The White Album period.

[@alextakacs768]

Sir you mentioned George Harrison but forgot to mention George Martin who overlooked all recordings he also had a say in whats good and whats not!!

One of these songs really did catch me by surprise. This video was put up 13 days ago but claims that Now and Then is an unknown and unheard single but it was released last year as the last Beatles song ever. There are even clips from the official Now and Then video included here. Is this video a re-upload or is this channel so out of touch that the producers are actually unaware of a song that brought the whole world to tears yet they are somehow aware of the video?

[@BioFactory1]

Flaws - The Palace of the King of the Birds was a McCartney written instrumental, seen in Get Back documentary and recorded by Paul for the Ruport The Bear project. Madman was not mid 60's at all. It was written at the same time as Mean Mr. Mustard in India and the recording you play of it is from the Get Back sessions at a fast speed. Pink Litmus Paper Shirt was written and recorded by the same bootlegger that recorded Peace Of Mind (12 Candles Burning). Since it was obvious the first song was fake Tobi Milo bootleggers never used the other songs on the guy's tape. Thanks to a fake late 70's clainn that Pink Litmus Paper Shirt was an unreleased Rutles song and Neil Innes's poor memory, he'd borrow the song title as part of the lyrics in the Rutles Archeaology song Unfinished Words. Last flaw is Colliding Circles. That was a wrong title for the song Circles that George Harrison demoed for the White Album.
