SELECT Magazine, RIP

corny drop-shadow a nice touch, too

I think that period stone roses could have been covered by RAW anyway. Sebadoh and dinosaur jr and sonic youth,afghan whigs and other more indie acts etc all did. Metal Hammer covered Oasis (or at least they got in their albums of year list) and i knew a lot of metal fans who dug the 1st oasis album. so why they just changed completely is beyond me.

LOL look at the difference between the other years & 1995

btw the late 80s/early 90s ones aren't there and would have provided even more of a contrast

I appreciate you tirelessly defending the honour of a magazine so on it they gave album of the year to The Wildhearts but I think that, 16 years on, you should maybe let it go.

haha

the wildhearts had some hooks! catchy as fuck.

what was the "photoshop pull out" in raw?

give $10 to jjjusten and he can go to this shop to find out http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0034ZKZHQ/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&qid=1299252839&sr=8-29&condition=used

You can buy issue 1 of Vox magazine from 1990

issue 2 is there as well

Comes with the Original Box - the Box is in fairly good condition and will be flattened out for posting. Alas, the stuff in the box was eaten 16 years ago.

One of the only things I remember about Select is they once gave away a Michael Eavis mask and it scared the shit out of my sister when I jumped out at her with it on.

ha ha ha

you should have tried wearing it upside down

too good and funny to die this thread.

unlike the magazine!

Well this is fun: http://selectmagazinescans.monkeon.co.uk/

Really want to know how many copies that Gay Dad issue sold.

Well it was at least one. Possibly not much more though.

Plonked into one at random, ended up with a "Stars in their eyes" special (People doing Jarvis, NHannon, NPersson, GStefani, etc)

Aw, I was hoping for full scans. Though yeah, I wouldn't want to scan 100 issues either. Hats off to that guy for what he has scanned.

Surprised by how few I had as I spent a large chunk of my teens reading them, but I'd buy one issue and re-read it obsessively for months, I guess, plus they were competing with Vox, NME, MM and later the dance mags for my attention.

Clicked on July 1994 cz I had that one, clicked on the page with a blurb on Pressure of Speech bcz long-forgotten name, whatever happened etc, read

"I really fucking hate D:Ream - I think 'Things Can Only Get Better' will be the next Tory Conference rally song."

I wonder...

I think the first one I got was the one with Morrissey on the cover from July 1991.
