Your CD CV

[Dave B]

If you listen to Radio 2 you'll be aware that on those happy occasions when Mark Radcliffe sits in for Steve Wright, he presents a feature called CD CV.

Rather than being simply a random collection of oldies, listeners request tunes which actually mean something to them by filling in this questionaire:

The most embarrassing record you ever bought?
The one song you wish you'd written?
