many issues from roughly 1992 - 1998. Free, but the kicker is you pay carriage or come and collect them (NE England) Let me know by the end of the day, or I have a special tall wheeled box here in the yard I'll be putting them in ;) Email address below is valid. Please email only if you really want them, as I'm pretty keen of clearing out here. Thx.

It's amazing just how worthless old magazines are, isn't it?

i'm actually a bit tempted to buy a random one from each year - might e-mail you later

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 12:17 (twenty years ago)

hmmm, actually quite tempting but i have em from '94 (well, my parents' shed does)...

― NRQ, Wednesday, 9 March 2005 12:19 (twenty years ago)

I regret clearing out my old Spectrum mags, luckily they're mostly available on-line now.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 12:19 (twenty years ago)

Oh god, that's exactly the years that I'm missing... I'm so tempted. If you were in London, I'd come round with a wheelie cart. But if you were in London, you'd be selling them for loads of cash. Sigh.

― Masonic Cathedral (kate), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 12:21 (twenty years ago)

uh, so you have selects '90-'92 and '99-'00? poor luck!

― NRQ, Wednesday, 9 March 2005 12:26 (twenty years ago)

I think you should get some, teh stevem. I'd read them.

― alix (alix), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 12:30 (twenty years ago)

90-92 are at my mum's house (I hope they're still there) and 98-0? are here in the UK. I want those middle years! I've no idea where they went!

― Masonic Cathedral (kate), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 12:31 (twenty years ago)

Oh where in London will someone buy then for shedloads?

(Not that I'd pop round a bike shop just to make munny, you unnerstan'?)

I tried that place in Soho on the corner, but they didn't want loads of Record Collector mags.

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 12:33 (twenty years ago)

the new order one from 93 is ace if u are a fan and dont have it.

― piscesboy, Wednesday, 9 March 2005 12:36 (twenty years ago)

They won't *buy* them for loads. But they'll certainly *sell* them for loads.

I really want the one with the lovely Mark Gardener centrefold. I think mine disintergrated. (ooh, err)

― Masonic Cathedral (kate), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 12:39 (twenty years ago)

First time I went in there, I was amazed at the prices of earlyish copies of The Face magazine. I still have a box with perfect copies of issues 1 to 10 in my loft...

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 12:44 (twenty years ago)

where is this shop?????

― NRQ, Wednesday, 9 March 2005 12:45 (twenty years ago)

It used to be up Rupert Street, if my memory is correct. Near the alley that goes up to Berwick Street.

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 12:46 (twenty years ago)

Kate if I was in London, you could still have them for 0. Take them now, repent at leisure when you realise yer house is full of RUBBISH. The only magazines I have that would worth any money are a bunch of early issues of "Mojo", but guess what? The earliset issues all got fused into a solid block of pulp when our roof leaked the other year.

Looking at these piles of USELESS magazines, I can't believe I spent all that money on them and all that WASTED time reading them! I could have been reading proper books! But no! Instead I learned all there is to know about men$wear and adorable! I am an idiot!! !! ! 1!! 1!!

Also FS, if you know anyone who's interested:

EMS Synthi AKS
Epiphone doubleneck electric guitar
Ensoniq SQ-r plus synthesiser module
Roland R8m drum module w/4 PCM cards
Peavey DPM-sp sample replay module (32mb)
Peavey DPM-SX sample imput module
other stuff as it occurs to me.
Serge Modular synthesiser panel + power supply
In case yr wondering, moving is very much in the agenda, and I need to trim down, plus 40 approacheth, and I need to "put away childish things" and quit being such a packrat. People - do not be a packrat, you WILL regret it!

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 12:52 (twenty years ago)

"in the agenda" = "on the agenda", you can mentally correct all the other typos yrselves.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 12:55 (twenty years ago)

haha i am currently trying to put my cassettes into a "sensible" order >:\

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 12:57 (twenty years ago)

Yes, but how would have the boundless knowledge with which you delight and amaze us on ILM if you had not read all those magazines in your foolish youth? You know what they say about regret...

― Masonic Cathedral (kate), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 12:58 (twenty years ago)

regrets/i've had a few/but then again/too few to mention

tonight on bbc2:

11.20pm Cover Stories Mariella Frostrup presents a celebration of 25 years of style magazine iD, from its origins as a post-punk fanzine in the early 1980s to its current status as a glossy bible of the fashion industry. Founder and editor Terry Jones established the publication on the principle that the latest trends should come from the streets rather than being handed down from elite fashion houses. The programme assesses whether these principles are still upheld by the current glamorous version. With contributions from Jones, former contributor Paul Smith and photographer Mark le Bon, who remembers being horrified by the magazine's treatment of his work (888) (Stereo)

The Oxfam music shop in Reading has old magazines, so if no one wants them perhaps you have an Oxfam music shop in your area who might want them. I don't think 'normal' Oxfams like magazines, but Oxfam music shops have the charity music nutters market pretty well cornered. I got an old Boy George book.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 14:17 (twenty years ago)

I'd pay to get the 90-92 issues (the ones I am missing), but the postage would probably be more expensive than the magazines.

― Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 14:18 (twenty years ago)

He Pash, for some of the 94 to 95 issues, how much do you think postage would be?

― Zarr, Wednesday, 9 March 2005 14:19 (twenty years ago)

So I didn't dream that. I remember iD having Crass on the front, etc, back in the day. 2 years later I picked up a different issue and thought, noh I must have been thinking of a different magazine...

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 14:24 (twenty years ago)

> synthesiser panel

so very close...

If anyone wants a copy of Hello Hawk by Superchunk, you can pick it up from the grounds behind my flat underneath my bedroom window from whence I threw it in a fit of pique.

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 15:02 (twenty years ago)

Onto that lovely yet inexplicable woodchip under the window?

― alix (alix), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 15:24 (twenty years ago)

alright, see, i've been wanting to do something like this with magazines. i'm a magazine whore and my habit is muy expensive. i wish someone who likes to read similar things as me would trade off with me or somefink so magazine-reading pleasure can be doubled, but w/o the expense. especially since i can pay postage courtesy of my work.

― ai lien (kold_krush), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 16:26 (twenty years ago)

Royal Mail website has postage prices.

Go and get it back, Lucretia.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 16:50 (twenty years ago)

Nicole, tell me which 90-92 issues yr missing.
Calum, I'll find out.

I haven't got the crimplenist (suede/pulp) one, sorry Alex, that must have gone a while ago. I'll trawl through and see if any have any st et feature (this = a statistical certainty, seeing as select was for quite a while the house magazine of the st et apperciation society)

Looking at all these magazines, thinking about what I could have been reading, I feel really angry with myself. What a waste. They've certainly made me stupider over the years.

Don't fret about it Norman. I read loads of 'good, improving' books in the 80's and 90's and I'm just as stupid as I was before.

Whatever happened to that copy of Krautrocksampler you said you'd send me? That was you, right?

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 18:35 (twenty years ago)

I stubled into the Vintage Mazine Store last time I was in Soho (London). Interesting place.

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 10 March 2005 03:26 (twenty years ago)

Mel, the copy of "Krautrocksampler" is still on my shelf, I totally forgot about it, my humblest apologies. Is the shipping address you emailed me still a good one?

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Thursday, 10 March 2005 09:24 (twenty years ago)

Indeed it is.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Thursday, 10 March 2005 10:31 (twenty years ago)

Also, I'd totally take any Selects that have Radiohead on the cover or something.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Thursday, 10 March 2005 10:32 (twenty years ago)

OK, there's bound to be one or two. IIRC they did this track-by-track feature over a couple of months. I'll look tonight.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Thursday, 10 March 2005 10:43 (twenty years ago)

That vinmag site is kind of interesting. I note that they don't really seem to do anything later than the 1970's, and it makes me kind of speculate that the sheer amount of magazines in print (surely far, far too many) since the late '80's means that a lot of stuff is basically going to be worth shit, forever. Will people in the future look at all this, and think it somewhat excessive? 7 "different" classic car magazines, how many "different" music magazines" how many "different" lad mags etc?

The magazines I couldn't bring myself to pitch = a small amount of model railway magazines from when I was a kid. Too charming!

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Thursday, 10 March 2005 11:04 (twenty years ago)

i'm heavy into 60s film mags, and there's just a lot of variety of prices -- there seems to be no established pricing as there sort of is with records and books. but some of the rarer examples of 'landmark' mags, like 'Movie' (1962-7, really) or 'Cahiers du Cinema in English', go for lots, probably just because of their 'status'. haha fuck those quote-marks, i'd kill for a full set of Movie.

― NRQ, Thursday, 10 March 2005 11:07 (twenty years ago)

Right, I have pulled out the following issues. (I got sidetracked w/other stuff this last week)

Nicole, I have the following issues from 1992 - aug, sept, oct, nov, dec. I can't imagine they'll be that much to send out. Let me know plz, ASAP.

Alex, I found the crimplenist issue, plus a couple of others w/st etienne features. One of them has a pic of Sarah C in a furry bra. Sorry c-man, alex asked first ;)

Calum, I have most issues from 1994 and 1995. It's a big block of stuff, I figure 20 quid would cover it? Maybe less. Let me know if yr still interested.

Mel W, I found a mere one issue w/anything on Radiohead. I fear RHead weren't really "in" w/Select for some stupid reason (stupid, considering some of the shit they did sling on the cover) The rest have been binned.

Next up, I'm putting up a bunch of my history books.

Let me know what you all want to do quickly, please!!

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 18 March 2005 22:15 (twenty years ago)

At the actual Vin Mag store they have a ton of stuff from the 80s and 90s--NMEs, Melody Makers, etc.

― Mary (Mary), Saturday, 19 March 2005 02:03 (twenty years ago)

Aw, I wish I had gotten 1993!

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Saturday, 19 March 2005 20:02 (twenty years ago)
