Metro Music was Martha and the Muffins' first album, released in 1979, and contained the hit single "Echo Beach" which reached No. 10 in the UK charts in March 1980. "Saigon" was released as a follow-up single a few months later but failed to chart.

As Dindisc 1 (DID I) Metro Music was notable for being the first album ever released on the then-new Dindisc label, followed soon after by the debut album from Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, numbered appropriately enough, as Dindisc 2 (DID 2).
