For no significant reason, I'd like to conduct a USENET poll (Upoll?
no, I poll... where was I). In short,

	Which record would you take with you on a desert island?

This island is equipped with suitably solar powered audio equipment.
This is a single "unit", i.e. 33 rpm lp, cassette or CD. EPs and 45s
are OK, though I expect one would seek to maximize the amount of music.
Double and triple albums are OK if they were released *together* originally,
so something like "The collected works of the Rolling Stones" (available
on a small, hi-fi label) is not allowed. The unit also has to have been
commercially available at one point (out of print stuff is OK) so
a cassette that you made with your 15 favorite pieces by your 5 favorite
composers/performers is not allowed. Remember, this is a *SINGLE* unit,
that you would be willing to be marooned with for the rest of your life
with no TV, no SO or any other pleasurable items or creatures.

Please mail responses to me, I will post poll results around early March
