Desert Island Discs

The format has always been eight tracks, one book and also one luxury item on your desert island. Not a big list of groups, eight tracks only, most probably only give a reason for the top two favourites and why your one book is so important to you. The luxury item is up to you.

    1. Paint it Black.  Rolling Stones.
    2. The Weight.    The Band.
    3. Whiter Shade of Pale.   Procol Harum.
    4. The Killing of Georgie Part 1&2.   Rod Stewart.
    5. All the Young Dudes.   Mott the Hoople.
    6. Do I Love You.  (Indeed I do). Frank Wilson.
    7. Tiny Dancer. Elton John.
    8. I see the Moon.   The Stargazers.

    Book would be   Works Minis in Detail. It is the definitive guide to all Mk1 & 2 Works Minis ever built. I never get bored of looking at it.

    Luxury item.  A vault of good wine.

    I love some of those.

    I believe that 'All the Young Dudes' was written by Bowie + gifted to Mott the Hoople (but that's not verified by Google, just a memory)...

    Yes, Mott the Hoople were struggling so Bowie gave them the song for free. I also like their other big hit, Roll Away the Stone. Bowie’s song Sorrow was originally The Mersey Beats.  I think a camera is a good choice.
