13 years old, went to see the very first Star Wars movie. Loved the music - and deliberately sought out the score - on vinyl of course.

STAR WARS was indeed the first film score soundtrack I listened to. A friend of mine had the film score on cassette and loaned it to me; I made a copy. Later, I bought the double LP. The second score I listened to was STAR TREK - THE MOTION PICTURE. Again, not mine, a borrowed LP (that I transferred to Cassette). I bought that score on LP a short time after as well.
I had been paying attention to film music long before that, really since early childhood, but those were my initial first scores that I listened to on album. I wasn't really aware you could just easily get film music on album. (And had yet to find out that indeed, it wasn't always so easy.)
The first "Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" I purchased with my own money (and, IIRC, the third LP I bought) was THE BLACK HOLE by John Barry.

In 1961, at 8 years old, I became entranced with the cover for the LP of "Master of the World" starring Vincent Price. Music by Les Baxter. I was a huge Price fan. And I loved weird scifi-ish aircraft. That cover had everything! So I saved my weekly allowance money and purchased the LP. It was my gateway drug.

First I heard/noticed in the film? I'm not sure, but probably one of these:
The Sea Hawk or The Adventures of Robin Hood by Erich Wolfgang Korngold
Captain from Castile or The Mark of Zorro by Alfred Newman
Darby O'Gill and the Little People by Oliver Wallace
The Ten Commandments by Elmer Bernstein
The Flame and the Arrow by Max Steiner
Ben-Hur by Miklos Rozsa
or one of a couple dozen western scores... my Persian immigrant father loved old Hollywood movies and copied a ton of them onto VHS, which I brothers and I watched for years and years after he had passed away.
First I heard on album, and realized film music was something people could buy and enjoy on its own?
Last of the Mohicans by Trevor Jones
First film music album I ever owned myself?
Star Trek: First Contact by Jerry Goldsmith

First time noticing the music was The Wizard of Oz. Not the songs, mind you, but Herbert Stothart's score. I was barely a toddler. First LP purchase was Earthquake, in 1974. I was 12.
