Posted 2 Weeks Ago by Br. Robyn Hoode - Now with added Ginge.
8 records:
The Moonlight Sonata. I'm not picky who's version, it's just a beautiful piece of music.
Cemetary Gates and Shedding Skin by Pantera
Staring at the sun by Offpsring.
I know there are others I'd like but those are the important ones. I'd maybe have some that remind me of people, some old reggae to remind me of my mum, something by Pink for Sheena and some new cheesy reggae to remind me of Hannah for instance.
1 book:
Watership Down. Unless I could get an omnibus of the Earth's Children series...
1 luxury item:
A Ray Mears survival kit with instructions

If I was to take 8 records (or CDs, or anything like that) to a desert island, my luxury item would be something to play them on.

Traditionally, DID is songs, although when it comes to classical, people tend to name whole works.

I agree with toybox so forget the records, my luxury item would be a fully-crewed ocean-going boat !
 
PS A get away from it all *holiday* would still have me forfeiting records and stocking up on books I've never read

I also thought that a record player was sort of a given... Along with the bible and the complete works of shakespeare...
Not that I listen to R4.
