I think In A Car is the 1st ‘proper’ hc record. I mean you’re not going to scare anyone with Middle Class or The Dils are you? pretty tame stuff compared to Dolphin Fields.

Hi jimi! The sleeve I have is the first press. The so called “oil” sleeve cause of the lettering. It’s hard to say which is the first but I think all elements of the early HC that started to bloom in 80/81 can be found in Middle Class-Out of Vogue 7″ from 1978 posted here:

for me this is the first american hardcore record, too. i think the cover you have posted is the second pressing. the bad brains single is from 1980. this is from 1977, three years before!!.

Hi, just found your site, great stuff … I would argue that this is the first hardcore record, what do you think?
