Select Magazine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A UK music magazine of the 90s, Select is particularly famous for its involvement in Britpop. Its 1993 "Yanks Go Home" edition, featuring The Auteurs, Denim, Saint Etienne, Pulp and a cover photograph of Suede's Brett Anderson in front of a Union Jack was pivotal in collecting several ultimately diverse musical trends into a journalistic movement.
The magazine launched in October 1990 folded a decade later in 2000.
