What the?!?!

[Dietmar]

here are all the different versions

black and white: 1977 (unless it's got the grey striped label 7")
green / blue (purple): 1979
orange - probably 1983, but indeed the rarest (unless you count those "freaks" from 1977)

Huh. I just noticed (I've never really looked) that when the text was hand-written for the checkered version, "Nothing Achieving" was listed before "Fall Out" on the cover. On the newer sleeves, the B-side got top billing.

Do we know what (if any) the story is behind the photo on the back?

just taken from a random detective magazine because it showed a police officer

So the Police's police photo is stolen?

Excellent.
