In an age when musicians regularly plunder their studio archives for material to pad out expanded versions of albums you already own, seemingly happy for the recordings they never wanted you to hear first time round to be used as musical ballast in "deluxe edition" versions of the same thing, it's rare to hear about unreleased material that demands to be heard.
Don Was has just such a track. Back in 1983, when his band Was (Not Was) were recording their second album, Born To Laugh At Tornadoes, they brought in a couple of musicians to record vocals on the track Shake Your Head. The first was Ozzy Osbourne, then gearing up for the release of his third solo album, Bark At The Moon. The second was a young session singer by the name of Madonna.
