    Led Zeppelin 3 aged 12 or 13. I thought it was almost unlistenable as I secretly preferred T Rex but didn't admit it...

    Me too. I can clearly remember, aged about 13, going up to the counter of the record shop just off Welling Corner, trying to be cool, but very self consciously asking for the LP.
    I think that shop was called Ajax.

    Bought my first album there in 1971; “Muswell Hillbillies” The Kinks.

    Double album with the bonus 7 inch live EP?  Still have it indoors, but I’m a little older I guess and In The City was my first from my own money, albeit they were on their third album by the time I got it in 1978.

    The World of East of Eden in 1972. Decca album full of wonderful eastern tinged jazz rock.

    One of my favourite albums to this day. Saw them at Cardiff Castle that year and have seen them millions times since.

    Think it was Queen II, though for credibility it was The Ramones. 
    Queen II is a bloody good album.

    A Music For Pleasure T.Rex album (below)
    I bought this too but I suspect that my first album was one of those dodgy MFP cover albums called "Hot Hits" or the other one that ran at the same time called "Top of the Pops".

    Thank you for hearing my confession. Please forgive me. I knew no different!

    Honestly can’t remember.  Probably around 78-79.  Could have been a dodgy mfp compilation from Woolies or Pepper from Virgin megastore.  Definitely got Revolver around that time from Our Price (cos it’s still got the price label on it), but I’m sure it wasn’t my first…even though it would be pretty cool to claim it

    From the Tearooms of Mars by Landscape. From the record shop in Northumberland Heath (elpees?) which was unusual as I was a regular at TW in Erith. 
    I still listen to it and like it.

    A Tonic for the Troops - Boomtown Rats. From WH Smith in 1978. The various Clash albums I bought over the subsequent years have aged a lot better than this one, but not a bad choice for an 11 year old.
