After selling my whole hifikit (Sony / jamo) which must have been I think around 1983/4 I was able to buy a brand new Philips CD303. I paid over 1000 euro for it and I was a broke but proud teenager. It took me more hard work and several months to buy a CD and that was the 120 guilder (60 €) double CD Pink Floyd The Wall. Imagine having a CD player and a CD and no money and no kit yet to listen to it, (luckily I had a nice weekend job.)

To me The Wall is the best ever album, i still listen to it and my absolute choice for the island!

My classic choice is more difficult but being all alone on that island i would need some soothing and romantic music. Therefor I choose Rimsky-Korsakov Sheherzade performed by the RCO conducted by Chailly and Jaap van Zweden on violin.

Cheers
