“The nascent synth-poppers probably didn’t know it yet, but they were waiting for a bit of kit called a Fairlight CMI, the first digital sampler. Not that they could have afforded one. In 1982, a Fairlight would set you back at least £18,000. It always makes me laugh when people say things like, ‘Back when £18,000 was a lot of money.’ It still is. Who’s going to turn their nose up at £18,000? The thing is that in 1982, £18,000 was an enormous amount of money – it would buy you a house.”

“Quincy was producing Michael Jackson at the time and said he liked Propaganda so much, he wanted them on his label in the US. So I know that Quincy Jones was listening to Propaganda, and I’m positive you can hear its influence on ‘Bad’.”

“One evening, Jill sat me down in front of Top of the Pops, during which the Sheffield band ABC appeared, singing ‘Tears Are Not Enough’ (or ‘Tears of Noddy Nuff’ as we later called it). ‘This is who you should produce next, they’re perfect for you,’ she told me.”
