(1979) "Fall Out" was the first single released by the The Police. It was originally released in May of 1977 and then re-released in 1979. "Fall Out" was a 7" single with "Nothing Achieving" on its B-side. "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 punkmovement 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.
