I actually did this on Radio Doha way back in 1979 when I was working in Qatar. Strange experience being interviewed by a weird Egyptian lady in a radio station and having to explain about the Albion.
Can't remember all the records, but some were
Sussex by the Sea (of course)
It's Getting Better by Momma Cass
Alone again Naturally by Gilbert O'Sullivan
Land of Hope and Glory
The Parrot Sketch from Monty Python (they wouldn't let me have the Cheese Shop due to it being broadcast a couple of weeks earlier without "I don't care how f******g runny it is" being bleeped out)
Pilate's Dream from Jesus Christ Superstar
Actually I think that was it, they only asked for six records.
Book - Guinness Book of Records
Luxury item - Snooker table

master of puppets the album is eight songs so that is my songs sorted.
Can i take a kindle with the whole of the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan as its 14 books long. If not Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.
luxury item would be a cd player with unlimited battery life. how am i supposed to listen to my songs with no cd player?
if i can listen to my songs without the need of a cd player then my luxury item would be my laptop and a copy of the latest football manager game.

Black: Pearl Jam
Butterfly Collector: The Jam
There is a Light: The Smiths
24 Hours: Joy Division
Monkeyland: The Chameleons
Down in the Park: Tubeway Army
Norwegian Wood: The Beatles
Alice: The Sisters of Mercy
Book would be Das Krapital, the second published edition of The Profanisaurus
Luxury item would be the collected works of Frank Thring, who directed the classic Pirate series of pornographic films of the early 90's. Whilst short on dialogue, they more than made up with up with plenty of Corgi Registered activity, specialising in Czech and Hungarian performers with lean cheekbones and the ability to suck an egg out of an ostrich.

God, this is difficult. It's amazing as there must be so many songs which when I listen to them, I remember how much I love them, yet reeling off a list seems impossible for me. Also do I go sentimental or just favourite songs? Ill just reel off eight and see what happens.
Kiss me - Sixpence none the richer.
Come Dancing - Kinks
Somewhere in my heart - Aztec Camera
Comfortably numb (live version from Pulse) - Pink Floyd
The wonder of you - Elvis
Mr Blue Sky - ELO
Plug in Baby - Muse
Ball and a Biscuit - White Stripes.
Book - How to survive on a desert island
Luxury item - Weights - May as well get fit if im stuck there. Also a good tool to kill stuff.
