Jim Skafish : Being filmed for “Urgh!” was one of the most effortless moments of my entire career. By the time we did it, the band was playing extremely fluidly, and we were in great sync with each other, musically and theatrically.

On August 28, 1980, Miles Copeland came up to us before our opening set for the Police, and casually said that we would be filmed that day for a concert film. We didn’t think anything of it—we just went out there and did what we did and had fun. It was an added treat when Sting invited Barbie and myself to join the Police with XTC and UB-40 for the finale of the film.
