The Middle Class were effin great. A lot of people get into the whole "they started out HC but devolved into post-punk" argument with them and thats unfortunate because all of the Middle Class recordings I have heard are BRILLIANT. And yeah...Out Of Vogue is the first hardcore record ever. No doubt.
These are some live tracks from the late 1970s. The track No Time is a Sleepers song. To check out the original Sleepers version, go here.
