I don't know much about either except that Nick Lowe was in BS and Elvis appeared in an episode of Frasier.

Yes Nick Lowe was in BS. What did he do for Elvis that he did for The Damned, Wreckless Eric, The Pretenders and Dr Feelgood among many others.
Get that and the BR sandwich is yours again, not a great incentive really....

Yep, He produced Elvis' first four or five albums. BR sandwich goes to Jules. Be warned, the Police class it as an offensive weapon and you will be fined for brandishing it in a public place..

Godley and Creme.I''m ashamed to say I don't know what they got up to....they produced some of The Police ?

Godley and Creme is correct.
They directed the Police video, one among many in the 80's including a brilliant one for their own song "Cry"

Lovely story about G & C on their burgeoning career in videos from the late lamented Q Magazine.
Apparently, they used to filter the offers they received by asking bands and artists whether they would consider not actually appearing in the video itself.
If they answer came back in the negative, they declined the gig.
