Even during the Synchronicity sessions, the Police were fighting so much, Hugh begged Dennis (Muirhead -- criminal defense attorney, and one time honcho at Sun Studios - and very nice gentleman, I might add) to get him off of the project. Hugh said it was miserable - Stewart would come in and track drums, then Sting would come in and erase the tracks - it was NUTS. According to Hugh, it happened juts the way it was descirbed in a popular article that was circulating about the band during those times. I can't remember which, but you guys could probably find it if you did a search on Hugh and Synchronicity. Those were awful days in the studio for Hugh.
But GREAT records
