Quotations and trivia

In Music Week from January 12, 1980 this song was announced as Duggie Campbell's next single - to be released on 1980-03-07 with the catalogue number DIN11. A label chronology shows that this number went to a band called Dedringer :(

Sting produced Duggie Campbell's Enough To Make You Mine right after The Police played their concert at the Reading Festival on 1979-08-24. They recorded three tracks on that occasion including Real Nice Girl & I Don't Wanna Lose Your Love.

When Duggie Campbell had to do the lead vocals both Sting and Hugh Padgham were surprised that they weren't as good as on his demo. Duggie replied that the demo's vocals had been sung by his drummer. Hugh Padgham remembered that he had sacked him because he was better than himself, whereas Duggie Campbell remembers that his drummer still played the drums on this recording session.

Two years later The Town House's engineer Hugh Padgham produced The Police's Ghost In The Machine ... and then many more The Police / Sting works.

Keyboarder Paul Fishman would meet Sting again when he supported The Police on their 1984 US tour with his band Re-Flex. Sting later joined Re-Flex when they recorded How Much Longer at Utopia Studios in London, England, UK.
