My first record bought with my own money was _Rubber_Soul_ by the Beatles, bought at Gemco in San Jose CA. And I bought the mono version which was a $1 less than stereo. Followed in quick succession by Revolver, Sgt Peppers, with odds and bods like Snoopy VS The Red Baron thrown in. First Electronic Music? My Dad brought home Switched On Bach by Walter Carlos when it came out, and it got heavy rotation. First thing that really knocked me out though was "Silver Apples on the Moon" which he got because he had a standing order for all Nonesuch records. First IDM/Whatever? I think probably an early seefeel ep on too pure...I was interested at the time in the leading edge of rock music (Swervedriver, Band of Susans, Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, etc) and Seefeel was right in there. And I think what really got me going was the Quoth EP and the On Remixes.
