Putting It Straight is a third rock album by Pat Travers. It was released in 1977 on Polydor Records.

The songs were listed on the back cover of the album in a different sequence than on the original LP pressing. Some later CD versions had the songs in the incorrect order as listed on the back cover. "Gettin' Betta" was a track that was often played in Travers' late 70s sets and "Dedication" remains a stand out song on the album.
