    Following the thread previously posted, those who remember Desert Island Discs will recall that in addition to the 8 records you were allowed one book and one luxury (which must be of no practical use)

    What would you choose?

      Sorry Ziggy,

      'Self Suffciency' is pushing it a bit, but the beacon thing is definately a No-No !!

      (You are allowed however such items a a 'blow-up doll' or a case of Whisky)

      ok, 8 new tracks:

      Taj Mahal - Queen Bee - YouTube

      Sixto Rodriguez - I Wonder - YouTube

      Diana Krall - Fly me to the moon - YouTube

      Van Morrison - Astral Weeks - YouTube

      Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire - YouTube

      Florence + The Machine - Dog Days Are Over (2010 Version) - YouTube

      Bruce Springsteen - Born In The U.S.A. - YouTube

      Eric Burdon & The Animals - Good Times - YouTube

      so ... those are the 8 tracks .....

      now for the luxury (I'll cheat as I need 4 to make me happy on a desert island ), and don't read books, so that's a substitute

      a means to acquire food:
