My Desert Island Discs

Eight records, one book, one luxury.

Inspired by the social pop phenomena and based on the BBC radio series format and because people regularly ask me this question I have decided to blog my personal Desert Island Discs. Eight records I would bring to an isolated, romantic island along with one book and one luxury gadget.
