Answer: DISCIPLES
Explanation: Definition: Students
**DISC** ("record") +** I **(independent) +** PL** ("album" is LP??) *on* [*hollow*]** E**(experience)**S** 
*According to comment 1 by the setter himself, this clue was amended post-submissio, but as the clue is printed, it's wrong as LP needs to be reversed.
