This is the REAL MCCOY!
DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE REISSUES listed as 'original pressings'
FRESH FROM MAY 1977!
THE POLICE
(original lineup)
- Sting - bass, lead vocals
- Henry Padovani - lead guitar
- Stewart Copeland - drums, rhythm guitar, producer.
First ever 'Police' single, on 'Illegal' Records (IL001A&B)- how many were pressed?
This is from the FIRST 5,000! -
How many like this with the original 'non checkerboard' background? Not Many?
How Many are around now? Damned Few!
Purchased in england in MAY 1977, it's been stored in my family's record cabinet back in the ol' UK from the time i left home (1978) to go to college 'til earlier this year, when i went back and found it..taahdaah!
(ps all the copies listed with checkerboard art sleeve and white label are from 12/79 re-issue with same IL001 number...check out Wiki for details!)
And now i'm selling it....not because i want to, but because i have some health bills that won't pay themselves.
GIVEN the age of this single (i wonder how few are left remaining?) it's in great shape...a little dust but no real scratches that i can see.
MONOCHROME PICTURE SLEEVE (see how young Sting looks!) no writing, very little shelf wear or creasing)

Here's what Wiki says about this collectible;-
"Fall Out" (first single by the Police) was written and produced by drummer Stewart Copeland, and was one of the first songs Copeland presented to vocalist and bassist Sting when The Police were forming. It is one of the only Police recordings featuring original guitarist Henry Padovani along with Sting and Copeland. Although Padovani is credited as the guitarist for the song, Copeland has stated that he recorded most of the guitar track himself and Padovani only recorded the solo. Copeland has also commented that he put a lot of personal energy into the song, including the actual packaging of the 7" singles.
"Fall Out" was released on the Illegal Records label, which is part of the Faulty Products group of companies owned by Copeland's brother Miles. Copeland estimates that the single sold mostly because it was a part of the overall punk movement of the time; the band appears in the cover photograph in clothes that were fashionable at the time and fans of the punk movement were buying any punk single that came out.
Music publications in the UK rated "Fall Out" among other punk singles of the time and it did not receive any exceptional reviews. It failed to chart on its original release, but when re-released in 1979 it made number 47 on the UK Singles Chart, two months after "Message in a Bottle" reached number one.
