Select (magazine)
ISSN 0959-8367 | | |
Select was a United Kingdom music magazine of the 1990s. It was known for covering indie rock,[2] but featured a wide array of music.[3]
Launched in July 1990, its first cover star was
Union Flag, was an important impetus in defining the movement's opposition to American genres such as grunge
.
Later, John Harris stepped down as editor, and was replaced by former Mixmag editor Alexis Petridis.[7] Under Petridis, the magazine's image moved back towards its coverage on an eclectic array of music, aiming to reach what Petridis described as "a wide range of music fans".[3] The magazine folded in late 2000, amid competition on the internet.[8]
