By the way, I haven't even stopped to think for a second about what happened to Dave C  Where is he?

The year of release is not the reason for Duffy's non-inclusion, Vik.
The Mercury Music Prize nominations cover releases from the previous 12 months, so it would cover 2007 & 2008.
Like you, I'm completely mystified as to why Duffy wasn't nominated, her album is undoubtedly one of the best of recent times.
