Simon Frith Quotations

It doesn't seem to have any obvious place where it's coming from - and yet play it to anybody and they're arrested.

The album was deemed eligible, we listened to it and we decided it could not fail to move anyone who heard it. That's what a Mercury record should be all about.

We just listen to the records we are given. If he wasn't eligible then we wouldn't have been listening to it.

It is the most extraordinary album. It doesn't sound like anything else around. I don't think anybody could be unmoved by it, which is a what a Mercury record should be all about.

I never ever think we have got a winner wrong.
