From YouTube: "'Sing, Baby, Sing‘ was recorded in late 1981 during the 'After Eight‘ sessions but was never finished as Taco and his team decided to go for 'Puttin‘ On The Ritz’. In 2022 Taco’s producer Tim Hellmers carefully added some extra instrumental parts and did this incredible mix. Enjoy this previously unreleased masterpiece and stay tuned for the upcoming 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of 'After Eight‘ which includes many outtakes, rarities and unreleased treasures."
