Was it the First Philadelphia Computer Music Festival album?

Or has anyone found one older than this 1978/1979 release?

This one was a computer music album, predecessor of chiptune, but technically not a chiptune yet, because no dedicated sound chips were used (as far as I know from description of the devices). Early sound chips appeared circa 1978, so I think the first legitimate chiptune album could not be earlier or too near to the date.

lists "music from mathematics" in 1961 and goto80 included it so i guess it must have some relevance to chip. i haven't heard it myself though. also various other early albums.

well I don't know about album but Melbourne House put out the soundtrack to Penetrator on vinyl around '83-'84. Fairly sure I read that somewhere.
