“Hope your test went well. I've had a couple of things from The Vinyl Factory. The quality is absolutely the best. One retro item I would love more than anything is a 1950's/1960's 7" Singles Jukebox :-) You can get them reconditioned, where thay have been gutted and have had all the technology replaced so they sound and operate better. Unfortunately for the ones with the nice little viewing window of the record being played they are anything from £4,000 to as much as £10,000 depending on the style of the exterior. Would be a dream though x x x”
“Ah, I see with the kisses. I will also leave them at the end of my message now :) I also think that British people are very friendly, I noticed that when I went to England this year (many Germans aren’t that friendly, it’s frustrating...) Oh, you really have a lot of vinyl shops??? WOW, that’s soo great :D Here are only a few shops who sell LP’s. But it slowly begins to increase here too! I got mine from one shop but most are from the flea market ;) I love old things like valve radios (I got one for my good school leaving exam), cameras or portable record players (I got an old one from the 50’s and it works :D). So I also like old LP’s or Singles from the flea market, I love the used look ;) I checked out the website you told me: WOW the albums are a great work of art indeed!! Do you get your LP’s from this site too then if I may ask?? Alright, I won’t be here tomorrow because of the test (just that you know). Hope you had a nice day then :) See you! ~Ann :-] xxx”
“I think British people do sign leave kisses a lot at the end of their messages. We are just being very friendly haha. Regarding vinyl shops, there are still a lot here. My local one sells new vinyl and CD's. I used to live in London there is loads of specialist vinyl shops (new and second hand). Most of the independents have been closed now due to the Internet and recession :-( but still plenty to go at. Vinyl sales have really increased in this country over the past 5 years and we still have the famous EMI pressing plant where all the original Beatles albums were pressed. It's been taken over now by an amazing company called the vinyl factory. They have a website you should check out. They produce beautiful limited edition pressings, they are a work of art. They recently had licence to produce the vinyl edition of the last Bryan Ferry LP Olympia and it's a stunning piece of work. Xxx :-)”
“Thanks!!! I hope I pass that test! Wow, that’s a lot what you have to do :O The Merchandising sounds interesting :) That’s great that you learn Japanese!! Oh, you had German and French at school :D Do you still remember some words or sentences (although it’s been a long time)?? I also don’t know much French anymore (that’s because English is my favourite language ;D) And sorry for the two messages ;) But you’re right, I LOVE IT!!!! :D By the way, I would like to ask you something. Are there many record shops in England where you can buy LP’s and Singles? Or can you buy them in normal shops where you can also buy CD’s?? I’ve been to England but I’ve never seen any shops like that. And I have another question (I hope it’s not a silly one!): do people from England often sign with “xxx” after their names? I ask this because you did and it’s on my autographs from the Cavern Beatles. I’ve never seen that in Germany you know :) Alright, see you then!! ~Ann :-]”
“I just went to your facbook page and...AAAAAH! THE ANTHOLOGY ALBUM COVERS ARE SOOOO GREAT!!! I really love them and this is the first time I’ve seen something like that!!! :D And the AHDN albums *oh great*!! I also got this LP but not from Parlophone (it’s Odeon). So my cover is red where yours is blue and the title says “The Beatles Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! A Hard Day’s Night” Just wanted to tell you :) SMILE!! See you then, Ann :-]”
“Awww good luck with that. Store management is just overseeing everything from Recruitment, Managing Staff, Staff Rotas, Merchandising the Shop Floor and Health & Safety. I'm enjoying learning Japanese, I did German and French at school but it has been such a long time since I learned it. Oh and I uploaded some great new photos of a Beatles Box Set I have on my Facebook page, I think you'll love it! :-)”
“Yes, coloured LP’s are so great :D Red vinyl would be great too, I hope you will find the 1962-1966 album then (you already got the blue one ;) I really found a white LP of the Beatles on a flea market but it wasn’t the White album (but you’re right, a white vinyl of the White album would be a DREAM!) The coloured LP I have shows the Beatles with instruments (but no guitars! Trumpets and a bagpipe ha ;) Wow, a degree in Art & Design :D I ALSO WANT TO CREATE ALBUMS! And you already did some band posters, that’s so great!! You seem to be a very creative mind too ;D May I ask what you do when you’re managing fashion stores? By the way, I will do an aptitude test for an Art College on Monday!! I’m so curious :O WISH ME LUCK (if you like ;) Thanks! Wow, Japanese (I know some words but not much, it’s difficult) I also would like to learn Japanese on day (at the moment I can speak German, English and French). What about you? Talk to you soon, have a nice day! ~Ann :-]”
