Recordist's notes
This is the sound of one of the more popular items - a scary looking mannequin known locally as "Cruella" in the great Jacksons auction. Sorry for the slight buzzing in the sound, I think it was either a slightly loose connection with my recorder, or the sound of an electric light flickering overhead.
