The Age of Plastic (1980) was the first album released by The Buggles, themed as a series of songs about the effects of technology on human life. It followed the success of their first single, "Video Killed The Radio Star" (1979), which reached No. 1 in the UK singles chart. Three other singles ("Living In The Plastic Age", "Clean, Clean" and "Elstree") were released from the album, but met with less success.
