I do, however in '87 TITN really only got finished because of Lindsey, Christine, Richard and the other engineer who helped (can't recall his name, he did an interview a few years ago) Distracted would be an understatement to describe Mick and Stevie's participation in getting that album over the finish line. The band has since given similar credit to Lindsey.
Was Lindsey demanding, insistent, the list goes on...absolutely. However, he got the job done and a hit record was delivered to Warner Bros.
Ken C. has even mentioned in recent years how Mirage was also a very disjointed process. Diva behavior, people not wanting to be at the sessions, or too much whatever to participate in a meaningful way. We don't have quite as much info about the making of Mirage as we do about Tango.
