"Fall Out" is a song by the English New wave rock band The Police. It was The Police's first single release. It was originally released in May 1977 and then re-released in 1979. "Fall Out" was a 7" single with "Nothing Achieving" on its B-side. Although it did not appear on any studio albums, it has appeared on a number of compilation and live albums including ''Message in a Box: The Complete Recordings'', ''The Police'' and ''Live!''. ==Background== "Fall Out" was written by drummer Stewart Copeland, and was one of the first songs he presented to lead singer and bassist Sting when The Police were forming. The single was recorded before The Police had done any live performances,〔Sutcliffe, Phil & Fielder, Hugh (1981). ''L'Historia Bandido''. London and New York: Proteus Books. ISBN 0-906071-66-6.

Due to nervousness in the studio, Padovani only played the guitar solos for both tracks, with Copeland playing the other guitar parts.〔Sutcliffe, Phil (1993). "The B-sides and Other Obscure Releases". In ''Message in a Box: The Complete Recordings'' (pp.57–59) (set booklet ). A&M Records Ltd.〕 Copeland used a Gibson SG for his parts, while Padovani used a Jacobacci. The b-side, "Nothing Achieving" was written by Stewart Copeland and his brother Ian, with Ian being responsible for most of the lyrics. Both tracks were produced by Stewart Copeland and "Bazza", which was the nickname of engineer Barry Hammond. The cover art for the single is a photo of the group taken on the roof of Copeland's apartment by his friend Lawrence Impey. Padovani's unusual grimace on the cover, though appropriate for the punk look of the time, was actually a result of his having a major toothache on the day of the shoot.〔 The actual packaging of the 7" singles was done by Copeland and Sting. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fall Out」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
