The first ever double album I believe was Bob Dylan's 1966 Blonde on Blonde.

Although not his first released album.

Chicago seemed to have had a liking for the this format, issuing their first 4 albums as doubles:

Chicago Transit Authority
Chicago II
Chicago III
Chicago Live at Carnegie Hall

It gets muddy here as Live at Carnegie Hall was also issued separately as Vols. I & II, and Vols, III & IV.

Just been reading Frank Zappa's book and he reckons that his 1966 album "freak out" (as posted by hawkmarty) was the first double rock LP

Depends on your definition of "rock".... Dylan's Blonde on Blonde beat him by a month.

Frank Zappa did have a "different" approach to rock music, but this was his claim

The Soundtrack Of Our Lives - Welcome To The Infant Freebase
...pretty much all of their LPs have been doubles.

Some nearly doubles:
Spiritualized - Lazer Guided Melodies (plays at 45rpm)

PJ Harvey - Dry (came with a free LP of demos)
Grandaddy - Under The Western Freeway (came with a card that you could send off and obtain a bonus 12" of more tracks)
....probably lots more of these 'bonus' releases

A lot of vinyl albums made during the CD era are double albums but single CDs. Here's Lady Lamb The Beekeeper's three sided debut. The Dead Weather's "Horehound" is a similar three sided affair and Tame Impala's "Innerspeaker" was a full fledged double but a single CD. So I'm guessing in the modern era there would be loads of similar double album debuts.

That's a good point. CDs can contain much more material than LPs. I often thought Badly Drawn Boy's first album was effectively a double, although it was a single disc with 18 tracks.

The first (and only) album by The Masked Marauders was reviewed in Rolling Stone (prior to release) as a double album, but what did we get? This piece of RS 6378.
