"My relationship with Frankie goes back a long way. Twenty-five years ago, Frankie championed the early music Pete Heller and I made and many of the first releases on Junior Boys Own. He helped turn a group of suburban London music fans into DJs and producers who could travel the world, simply by his patronage." Terry Farley
"When difficult decisions had to be made at the label, I’d often ask myself, 'What would Frankie do?’ This meant we should approach the problem with love and respect for the music as our first concern." Steven Hall ( JBO)
