Sam, before you say that asking to take your name off is hypocritical, you need to have all the information.................. ........................................Sorry that you find it hypocritical.

JJ, my comment was not aimed at you at all!!! And I certainly don't find anything hypocritical in this situation, I would have done the same thing. My comment was general, and was made because I've read and heard some people saying they'll work on a project they hate, take the clients money and then ask for their names not to be included in the credits; and that, I find hypocritical.
I had a weird situation two years ago where I forced a French, reggae band to remove my name from the CD's credit list; They had me listed as co-mixer and/or mix consultant, when all I did was pop into the studio while they were mixing to say hello and listen to a couple of songs that were already mixed....Oh yeah, they did ask my advice about how to get the kick and bass to sit well in the track they were mixing at the time. The band had originally asked me to produce and engineer the album, but I declined because of previous engagements. Coincidentally, I happened to be working in the same studio complex where they were mixing and they asked me to stop over one day. The CD had been released when I discovered what they did.
