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.
It's possible that there were no dedicated sound chips...so this is tube music? lol
Well I guess this thread is about "Computer" Music more than "Chip"...maybe I can change the title...

Before specialized sound chips were created, computer music mostly used DACs, starting from one or few 1-bit DACs (check my article on this). It is ~1959.

Slightly off topic...What about the RCA Mark II Sound Synthesizer? Born in the late 50's from vaccum tubes, It is the great ancestor of all synths, trackers, and computer music. Not only did it use punch cards, but had to write it's sounds on shellac records, just to hear it!
