Metro Music was Martha and the Muffins' first album, released in 1979, and contained the international hit single "Echo Beach"; it was a #3 hit in Canada, #1 in Portugal, #5 in Australia and reached No. 10 in the UK charts in March 1980. "Saigon" was released as a follow-up single in the UK a few months later but failed to chart. In Canada, the follow-up single was "Paint By Number Heart" -- it climbed to #69.

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).
