Fall Out, 7''
'Fall Out' was The Police's debut single, and featured the original line up which included Corsican, Henri Padovani, on guitar. The single was released in May 1977, and the band received their first royalty cheque, for £200, on August 12th. The original release of course was in the black and white sleeve, but there were three main reissues of the single most of them in 1979, known as the blue/purple sleeve, the green/black sleeve and the orange/black sleeve. Surprising though it may seem, the orange/black reissue, is by some margin the most difficult to locate and consequently the most valuable of the four. There was a very limited repressing of 100 records for the Outlandos fan club in 1979 - and it is believed that these were the orange/black sleeve. It would certainly explain the rarity of the release as the copies only went to Outlandos members. If you are lucky enough to stumble across a copy at a record fair be sure to pick it up. Copies can occasionally be seen advertised for around £50, whereas a standard black and white original can often be obtained in excellent condition for between £20-£30. The other two reissues can be found for a few pound
Review from Record Mirror magazine
"Listen officer, I'm a restless child of the underground, but that don't mean you can push anything off on me in the name of punk."
Review from Sniffin' Glue magazine
"Good to see a new label, but this is like a sort of Highway Star, and I never did like Highway Star. Did you?"
Review from New Musical Express
"This is the kind of music that Mr Big look as if they ought to play, with a remorseless ramalama attack and an insolent high-piched vocal. The ghost of Hideous Bill smiles grimly."
Review from Sounds
"Featuring former Air drummer (they have split up haven't they?) Stewart Copeland on drums, guitar (bass/vocals) and Henry Padovani (guitar). Obviously under Copeland's direction (he composed both sides). It's competently played rock, with nasal annihilated vocals... that's all folks.
