The Great Escape is the seventh studio album by Australian singer songwriter Richard Clapton, originally released in February 1982 via WEA.

This was the first album to be released after signing a new recording contract with WEA in Australia. The album was produced by Mark Opitz and featured members of INXS, The Party Boys amongst others.

The album produced three singles with the first “I Am an Island" (February 1982), reaching # 20 on the Australian singles chart.  The second single "Spellbound" (April) reached #89 and "The Best Years Of Our Lives" (September) did not chart in the Top 100.

The album also contains a cover of The Crickets song “I Fought The Law”.

The album reached #8 on the Australian albums chart, making it Clapton’s highest charting album in Australia.

Australian music journalist Ian McFarland called it "one of his strongest albums".

This album is a 2024 reissue on black vinyl housed in a single pocket sleeve with a printed inner sleeve and remastered audio, pressed in Australia via Warner Music.
