* In a bit of a crossover with Film, but a scene in the movie ''Film/SpiceWorld'' features the Music/SpiceGirls singing the beginning of the song "Leader of the Gang (I Am)" by Gary Glitter as a concert in Italy. In the original version of the movie, the performance was supposed to lead into a cameo appearance from Glitter himself. However, once Glitter was arrested for his child pornography scandals, his cameo was quickly deleted from the final cut of the film, and the performance of "Leader of the Gang" cuts off halfway through. Eventually [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYRHoQP75-g&ab_channel=sotcaadotnet footage of Glitter's cameo]] made it online, which also showed the Girls singing the second verse of the song, proving they recorded a full version of the song (which was likely to appear on the ''Spiceworld'' album,) which has never been released.

* Music/TheBeachBoys: Despite constant releases since 2011, the legendary [[Music/SmileTheBeachBoys Smile]] Sessions is still incomplete. Lost material that hasn't resurfaced includes The original Mix of ''Heroes and villains'', the vocal tracks for ''Song for Children'' ''I wanna be around'' and ''On a Holiday'', and the Music/PaulMcCartney sessions.

* Music/{{Lostprophets}}' final music video, for the song "Somedays", was never released because lead singer Ian Watkins was arrested and convicted of child sexual abuse. The rest of the band formed Music/NoDevotion and [[OldShame now refuses to preform Lostprophets songs again]].

** "Now and Then" was originally recorded as a Music/JohnLennon home demo, and was given to the surviving Beatles in the 1990s by Music/YokoOno to flesh out and make a new song. It was never finished and never made it out for Anthology. It was finally finished by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr with some help from artificial intelligence and an unreleased George Harrison guitar part, seeing release in November 2023. At around the same time, a new song, "All for Love", was rumored to be on an Anthology album as an all new song. It never was finished, and if there are any recordings, we don't know where they are.

* Meat Beat Manifesto's debut was meant to be a May 1988 release titled ''Armed Audio Warfare'', but the master tapes were damaged in a fire. Their actual first album, ''Storm The Studio'' consisted of re-recorded and re-invented elements of ''Armed Audio Warfare'' itself. Their second full length release was also titled ''Armed Audio Warfare'' - it was a compilation of rare and unreleased material, including alternate versions of songs included on ''Storm The Studio'', and was meant to be a taste of what the original ''Armed Audio Warfare'' might have been like.

* Between ''Tin Planet'' and ''Suburban Rock 'n' Roll'', Music/{{Space}} made an album of songs with the working title of ''Love You More Than Football''. The provisional tracklisting was published on the band's website, and song titles were leaked to magazines. One of the songs, 'Diary Of A Wimp', was released as a single in 2000, while 'Gravity' was premiered at gigs on the Bad Days Tour in 1998 and included on the GreatestHitsAlbum. However, due to problems with the record company and increasing delays, the album was never actually released and is now only available on bootleg. It's also the last album with Jamie Murphy on it, and also the last album with lead vocals by other band members besides Tommy Scott (or instrumentals).

* The critically acclaimed and highly influential "My Life In the Bush Of Ghosts" by David Byrne and Music/BrianEno lost a song between its first US release and its original UK release/CD release. The track "Qu'ran" (which features a reading of the Qu'ran set over a music track) was omitted at the request of several Muslim groups who asked the UK record label to omit the track. It was replaced in all subsequent pressings with the B-Side "Very Very Hungry". The track is present on CD on the 1989 US release, so is not totally a missing episode. Another song, "The Jezebel Spirit" itself exists because of licensing issues that propped up before the album was released. Originally it was a track called "Into the Spirit Womb" and has completely different dialogue from "The Jezebel Spirit". "Into the Spirit Womb" remains unavailable as a legitimate release.
