via the seller: "I bought this one new directly from the Oberheim in 1983. While playing guitar for The Nina Hagen Band, I used it for songwriting, and as a general inspiration tool. It’s noises are all over the tracks on The Hagen Bands 1983 album 'Fearless,' Including her crazy club hit 'New York New York.' I was tapped by Universal to write songs for a film called 'The Breakfast Club.' We set up shop at Oasis Recording Studios for about six weeks I used my new OB-8 nearly every day, writing songs for the film. The main title was called 'Don't You Forget About Me.' by Simple Minds. So... It is upon this exact OB-8 Synthesizer the first whisps and golden threads of 'Don't You Forget About Me' slipped from the speakers, and into our ears to be nailed down for the record. There’s to the pedigree… Now as to it's condition. Factory Midi installed with original page two instructions still intact. (I reprinted a fresh copy of the users manual) The synth has been well cared for, and is in perfect working order."
