ESCAPE song Escape (a.k.a. Escape (Free Yo Mind From This Rat Race)) was released as the b-side of Glam Slam, the second single from Prince's tenth album Lovesexy. In 1993, the song was included as the third track on The B-Sides compilation (included as the third and final disc on The Hits / The B-Sides). While specific recording dates are not known, initial tracking took place in May 1988 at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA. Containing samples from the song Glam Slam, Escape was clearly designed specifically for the Glam Slam single. Escape's opening lyrics were used as a brief introduction to the opening medley on every date of the Lovesexy Tour in 1988-9.
I don't think I ever heard this song. Any you all dig it? I think I need to hear it because that is what I need to do from my hometown, "ESCAPE"!!!

I think Glam Slam was the first 12 Inch single I ever bought. I loved Escape. | |

I have the CD single. Loved that song but haven't heard it for a very long time. I need to dig it out. It was released in the brief period when CD singles were a thing. To me it sounded like a continuation/variation of Glam Slam. | |

Another killer b-side. The long version is ridiculous. |

Great b-side, unfortunately the cd-single only had the short version of Escape. Long version remains 12" vinyl only if i'm correct.
