A song recorded for Tina Turner's blockbuster album Private Dancer, that was presumed lost, has been rediscovered and will receive its first play on BBC Radio 2 later.
Hot For You, Baby, was cut at Capitol Studios in Hollywood and originally intended to be an album track.
But it was ultimately jettisoned in favour of era-defining pop hits such What's Love Got To Do With It, Better Be Good To Me and the album's title track.
Presumed missing, the master tape was recently rediscovered as her record label compiled a 40th anniversary re-release of Private Dancer.
An up-tempo rocker, full of showboating guitar chords and an extremely 1980s cowbell, Hot For You, Baby is a prime example of Turner's raspy, physical style of soul.
The track will receive its first play on the Radio 2 Breakfast Show on Thursday, between 08:30 and 09:00 GMT.

John Paul Young is not related to Angus or Malcom.
However George Young formed the epic band Flash And The Pan.
/ love Brian Johnson’s early work with Geordie but Bon Scott is still the man
We may be the only people on earth who knew F&TP existed

Just be glad that Bruce Dickinson didn’t take that attitude.
That would be awesome. And a thunderdome to accessorize it.
Don’t give me more crazy ideas.
I already have enough of my own.
