Ghost in the Machine (album) (English Wikipedia)

Adams, Sam (24 December 2012). "The Police's Andy Summers on his songs, Sting, and being ripped off by Puff Daddy". The A.V. Club. Retrieved 20 March 2013. 'Omegaman' was a really strong piece. A&M wanted to put it out as the first single. But Sting, who was feeling his power at the time, was freaked out. He didn't want it out. He refused. He got very upset, but A&M didn't want to upset him for all the typical reasons, so it didn't get put out.
