Desert Island Discs!!!

Can you believe that the Radio 4 show - Desert Island Discs is 70 years old this month, making it the longest running music show ever.

To celebrate, I propose our own TLB Desert Island Discs, for those of you that don't listen to Radio 4 (I'm sure that can't be many ^-^) this is the format. You are about to be marooned on a desert island, but you can take 8 of your favourite records with you, a book and a luxury item.....................so what are they???
