First Video Album Ever :

"EAT TO THE BEAT"

by

 Blondie

Blondie's Eat to the Beat (1979/1980) is recognized as one of the world's first video album.
Each of the 12 tracks from the studio album has a corresponding video, making it a pioneering effort in the music video medium.

Produced by Paul Flattery and directed by David Mallet, who were influential in the early music video era.
Tracks include hits like "Dreaming," "Atomic," and "Union City Blue".
The video project was a pioneering attempt to package music visually before MTV became prominent.

 The video album was later remastered and reissued, often paired with the audio CD, such as the 2001 EMI-Capitol release.

While Eat to the Beat is generally considered the first true video album, Blondie's earlier career saw them experimenting with video in 1977.

"X Offender" is the debut single by American band Blondie for the band's self-titled debut album, Blondie, the song was released as the album's lead single in June 1976.

Studio album 

Eat to the Beat is the fourth studio album by American rock band Blondie , released on September 28, 1979 .
The album spent a year on the US Billboard 200, peaking at No. 17 and was one of Billboard's top 10 albums of 1980. It also reached No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart in October 1979, becoming the band's second top album there that year.

The primarily pop album includes a diverse range of styles in its songs: rock, disco, new wave, punk, reggae and funk, as well as a lullaby. "Atomic" and "The Hardest Part" fused disco with rock.

Blondie's first two albums were new wave productions, followed by Parallel Lines which dropped the new wave material, exchanging it entirely for rock-infused pop. Eat to the Beat continued in this pop direction.
