Close Up

Outsiders, “Close Up” (Captured Tracks, 2014; original release 1978)
These guys turned into postpunkers the Sound, but this is still first-wave punk rock, delivered with focus and force. In this still protean era, their music had elements of incipient postpunk angularity, MC5/Stooges-esque swagger/swing, and even pub-rock chug. Excellent songs, too.
Try A/2, B/2, B/4, B/5
