From https://web.library.yale.edu/cataloging/music/frbr-wemi-music#item:

A work is realized by an expression, which is embodied in a manifestation, which is exemplified by an item.

An Item is the actual copy of the manifestation that expression takes that is owned by a person or corporate body. It is the only absolutely concrete entity in the FRBR model

An item can consist of several distinct physical objects, such as a box set of CDs, or two separately bound volumes with no common sleeve/box that were issued and sold together. Both are considered to be one item.

Each copy of Music & Arts 1995 pressing of the recording of Die Zauberflöte by Mozart July 27, 1949 performance by the Konzertvereinigung Wiener Staatsopernchor is an item.

Each copy of Sony Classical's 2005 release of the June 10, 14-16, 1955 J.S. Bach's Goldberg variations performed by Glen Gould is an item.

Attributes of an item: provenance, location, condition, access restrictions, identifier (if it has one), etc.
