As with all other consumers of media, melomaniacs are no stranger to bands and musicians never releasing certain albums or worse yet losing their demo tapes or other recordings. This problem is especially pronounced among the niche with loads of bands losing their DAT tapes and work, and RAC has lots of media that has yet to be discovered or that has become lost.
Peak among these items relevant to my interests are any/all releases connected to Young National Front's Punk Front: White Boss, The Dentists, The Ventz, et cetera. To date, any release from any of these bands, be it demos or live bootlegs, has yet to surface. The band White Boss allegedly has a live gig that was bootlegged by an attendee, but the tape has never surfaced.
For those unaware, Leeds-based organizer Eddy Morrison, known for starting Punk Front, started holding the first known concerts for Rock Against Communism in response to the left-wing Rock Against Racism. These bands were entirely localized to the Leeds Punk scene and had virtually no reach outside the local music press which frequently caught the attention of left-wing activists who condemned them. Even the Young National Front supporters appear to have little memory of these bands. Rock Against Communism wouldn't take the shape we know today until the aftermath of 1981's riots in Southall.
The first "true" wave of Rock Against Communism, in that they were technically first to play under the banner of RAC, would be little more than a historical curiosity in the history of Nationalist Rock, but goddamn, I'd love to know what they sounded like.

Other items of intrigue:
The Swedish Oi! band No Agony has a massive amount of demos that have yet to be ripped.
UK proto-Fashwave / Synthpop band The Final Sound (most known for "Genetics") allegedly released a demotape called "Play to Win" by Defendant Tapes. Anyone who finds this and share it, were it ever released, would be doing the world a massive favor. God only knows what the first true Fashwave band would've sounded like.
German Synthpop / Techno group Standarte (most known for "Alibaba") has lots of media that has yet to surface online, including CDs and other supposed media not featured on Discogs. They were often bootlegged, so finding authentic Standarte releases will be a task.
Sturmtruppen - Es ist Beit (or Es ist Zeit) Official CD from Rebelles Européens. Featured in the enhanced content to the 2005 reissue of Pissing On Jew Pussies with Vaginal Jesus and Ethnic Cleansing. Despite Discogs calling it a bootleg, this release was apparently featured in one of the label's catalogs towards the end of its existence. Very few, if any, copies have been seen in the wild, but while the band maybe abysmal, having it for posterity wouldn't be such a bad thing.
Missing releases from Skull Records. SKR 017, SKR 027-SKR031, SKR 036, SKR 037, SKR 042 and SKR 108 have yet to appear online, if they ever existed in the first place. The Schaffelhuber brothers seem to have followed in the footsteps of Ingo Nowotny and release both unauthorized material and fake follow-ups. It is entirely possible those releases never existed in the first place or were announced but never released, but any/all information, perhaps official catalogs, documenting what they were or could have been would be appreciated.

I am not joking. This is a serious post.
There used to be RAC cover of this https://youtu.be/52ftPZlA03w song. The lyrics were about Serbia getting bombed by NATO and some guy spraying something like "Slava Srbija" on the wall. It was a Slovak song but I could not find it even through browsing all Slovak RAC on 88NSM. I also could not tell who is singing it by voice. It is real and I heard it being played along other songs(I knew) during one NS meeting and grillparty. Too bad I did not asked the DJ what is it. It has been years and I still have not found it

Actually, it doesn't remotely sound like that. I hadn't checked your link, but as a consolation, here's "Hail Serbia" by the Slovak Death/Thrash band Death Warrant.
