Now this item was just one of several thousand that was once part of my music library, which has been downsized to a more manageable level over the past decade, now generally most items are in a good to new condition, however I did buy items second-hand so these may show marks etc made by the previous owner, therefore if you are one of those (very) particular types, (and yes, you know who you are!) then may I suggest that you email me before you purchase because the item will almost certainly have my DNA on it somewhere which you may find rather annoying, and so finally thank you in advance if you do decide to purchase (despite all of the above).
