Full of jobs with actually quite good money.
weird but I think they'd done a deal with one label I think it was Fontana or whatever and actually that tape's quite good I've still got it lying around somewhere it's almost like the kind of home tape you'd make for your mates but I think the problem with Early Select was it was definitely trying to be a Q me too because all the publishers who had weekly inkies like the NME and Sounds and Melody Maker they were getting spanked by Q which was a perfect bound high quality magazine all based off the CD boom as well
Yeah, well, it was for an older audience.
The CD boom had, by the way, these were in the days when the older audience was 36 years old.
I know, imagine.
But it's like people rebuying their collections on CD at a vast, vast uptick.
It was flooding the music business with money.
And they were flooding that money back into Q Magazine for full-page adverts to get your latest remastered Dire Straits CD, mate.
So everybody else wanted in on the action, understandably, because the weeklies were kind of going to, they were already starting to show signs of fading away.
The original Select Mob, they were a great bunch of people, but it was not different.
It was a bit Pepsi and they were doing their utmost to try and do a really good magazine.
There's a lot of good stuff in there, but it was never going to win against Cube.
And in those days, that was considered to be a bit of a mediocre set.
I mean, I remember we once got select up to 100,000 copies.
It was like, well done.
You got your little magazine up to a moderately respectable figure.
Now people would give their legs to sell 60,000 copies.
All right.
I wrote that story.
But this is it.
