Album info:
Alex and Damon spoke on Radio 1 on the 17th June 1995 about coming up with a title for the album. "We've got until this Wednesday, our record company inform us, to come up with it," said Damon. "We've been trying to get 'life' into it, but nothing was very good - 'Wifelife', 'Darklife', 'Nextlife'," added Alex.

'The Great Escape' sold an astonishing 500,000 copies in the first month on its release in the UK.
