London - Paul McCartney wants to release an obscure 41-year- old Beatles track that was only played once in public, Britain's Observer newspaper said Sunday.

The 14-minute Carnival of Light was recorded in 1967 when Paul, Ringo Starr, George Harrison and John Lennon were working in London's Abbey Road studios on the vocals for Penny Lane.

The track, a jumble of shrieks and psychedelic effects, was never released because three of the Fab Four thought it too adventurous.

London, Nov 16 : A Brit couple has rescued a rare albino hedgehog, which is believed to be one of only 100 in Britain, from their garden when they spotted it glowing in the dark.

Nick and Julie Packham made a 250-mile round trip through the night, to take the hedgehog to Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital, in Haddenham as they feared predators might pick him up.

The albino hedgehogs, which are one in 100,000, are born with the recessive gene that means they have no melanin pigment in their skin, eyes and spikes.

The Packhams, of Pluckley, Kent, have named the hedgehog Midnight because of the time it was found.
