Rod Stewart - A Night on the Town or it might have been an ABBA album. Though if it has to be an album that I bought; not parents, going into the shop and spending my own hard earned money, then Mick Jagger - She's the Boss. I didn't buy records then, just taped from the radio on cassette tapes for free. On second thought, the Mick Jagger one was a cassette tape, not a record, bought at the department store I worked in as my after school casual job. I don't think I ever bought myself an album. The format doesn't matter. Most people's first album is often a bit naff. Mick Jagger "She's The Boss" is a bit cool

Sam, I bet it was all reel to reel recorders back in your era!

Yes, you could still get reel-to-reel in the 70's. They were used by those with a decent quality stereo in preference to the cheap cassettes.
This was the model that I had:

The trick was to pause it just before the DJ started waffling on again I suppose 'kids today' ( ) set up their music playlists on phones and iPods like we did mixed tapes. I've set up playlists but it's not as good. I loved mixed tapes. Sometimes the tape would overheat because it had been in a hot car (I do not mean a 'Mustang' when I say a hot car ) or the tape deck would start to chew up the tape and you'd rescue it and stick it back together with tape.
