The Clash, “Give ‘Em Enough Rope” (CBS, 1978)
Second LP by U.K. punk’s frontline commandos, this one produced by Blue Oyster Cult impresario Sandy Pearlman, and it does add a concomitant heavy-metal edge, fleshing out the debut’s newsreel style into an action-film panorama of menace.

The Clash, “The Clash” (CBS, 1977)
Original U.K. version, and an essential punk document. Built-for-speed storming attack, guitars hissing and roaring against one another, shouted vocals like hastily spray-painted slogans.
