Some video footage exists;
On various snippets of the band playing. Julian Temple's early footage?
Audio?
There is rumour of some audio recordings? Rob Harper talked of a tape when Terry was sacked.
1976/77 Julian Temple's early footage 18hrs
Known to contain several concerts including The Roxy 1 Jan 1977 and Harlesden plus Rehearsals footageJulian Temples 1976 footage 18 hours - included Roxy/Anarchy Tour/Harlesden/Rainbow - only the footage that was used in the film eventually got digitised because it was shot on an obscure format that does exist anymore and so it cost a fortune to put onto tape. 
Subway Sect
There is some video footage of Subway Sect at Rehearsal Rehearsal - 4mins which ha sbeen released on the Commercial DVD 'Punk in London'
The Clash were based just inside the gates of the British Rail Yard in Chalk Farm Road, Camden Town, London in a first-floor British Rail goods yard known as Rehearsal Rehearsals within walking distance of the musical venues of Dingwalls and the Roundhouse. (Clash.org)
Back in 1976, it was just another abandoned area of North London which, after years of neglect, had been left to the drunks and winos that littered the pavements of Chalk Farm Road. Rehearsal Rehearsals sat in the middle of it in a filthy, dilapidated former British Rail goods yard.

'Rehearsal Rehearsals' sat in the middle of it in a filthy, dilapidated former British Rail goods yard. I arrived there with my schoolmates The Subway Sect, to help with band rehearsals after Malcolm McLaren had seen fit to call Bernie Rhodes
