A cassette of never-officially-released music. (This means _never_: no B-sides, nothing that showed up on the boxed set, etc.) Also, not more than one song per artist, please.

"Killing Joke - "the Fanatic""

Has "Nuclear Boy" ever turned up on an official release Alex? I used to love that one live - never understood why they missed it off the first album.

Errr, oh, sorry, yes, my nominations:
The Damned's cover version of "Arnold Layne"
The Slits' "Chant"
The Omens - "Death March"
Don Van Vliet & Denny Walley - "Hoboism"

I want to say "Nuclear Boy" was an officially releasd b-side, but I could be wrong about that. It's appeared on numerous bootlegs/unofficial odds & sodds compilations, though I'm not entirely sure of whether it was originally at the band's behest or not.
