I’ve reached the point in my book where Select is mentioned. As a 16 year old in 1990 infatuated with all things Manchester I never missed picking up the new issue at the mall bookstore. It was my and my friend’s bible. I learned there is a website with scans and I’m having a night with it.
I lost the bookmark for this so I'm happy I ran across your post again. Incredible find.
