		Released shortly after the album was cult film director Richard Stanley's film version of the album.
		In desperation the appeal was broadcast to the general public in an attempt to discover her identity.
		I can't remember how much made it onto the album from these sessions, but it was such a pleasure to just sit back and listen to the band create something from nothing and keep it going and developing purely by using that special gift they had of "inter-band telepathy".

	The Great Escape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Great Escape written by James Clavell and W.R. Burnett, and directed by John Sturges is a famous 1963 World War II film, based on a true story about Allied POWs with a record for escaping from POW camps.
		This includes all the real-life details of the plans, tunnels, successes and tragic outcome of the "great escape." Paul Brickhill, an inmate of the original camp, wrote an account of the escape under the same name, upon which the film was based.
		The Great Escape is also the name of a 1995 album by British band Blur.

	Blur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		It wasn't until the second album Modern Life is Rubbish that the iconic Blur sound began to immerge, with the band taking the influence of 60's acts like The Kinks and The Beatles and applying it to the indie-ethos of 80's bands like The Smiths, Felt and The Wedding Present.
		Because of this, the album can be enjoyed as both a conceptual piece (with Blur looking at certain themes synonymous with the rat race and the British way of life), or as a collection of fine pop songs (the singles, particularly The Universal, still sound great).
		Still, it's a great pop song, regardless of it's supposed hidden-content, and is a track that works well within the context of the record and with the themes of consumerist abandon and technocratic escape (...it's also worth remembering for that great video featuring the actor, Jean Marc Barr).

		The two new albums would be recorded as part of a 75th birthday celebration for Elmer during which he would also conduct the Royal Scottish National Orchestra in a concert of selections from many of his film scores.
		Since even the original orchestrations for The Great Escape had long since perished, any music we recorded from this score was going to need to be reconstructed and reorchestrated, based on Elmer’s original sketches, which were all he had retained.
		And as wonderful as his soundtrack album recording was, and as triumphant as it was to hear the RSNO invest the music with new life and have it captured with contemporary recording technology, this third CD is most definitely the charm.

		Great trouble was taken in food preparation, with special occasions such as a birthday or Christmas requiring months of hoarding.
		On a previous escape he had been hiding in Prague and was caught in the aftermath of the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich in June 1942.
		Scathing about The Great Escape film, he was very annoyed with Steve McQueen and the motorcycle incident, which he said was a load of rubbish because it never happened, he also didn't like they way Hollywood glamourised it and put in characters who weren't really there.

	2/2/05: CD Review The Great Escape
		All previous LP and CD incarnations had been of a studio re-recording with an orchestra half the size as the one heard here, and it's a revelation to hear it now, in it's entirety, as it was meant to be heard.
		Sound quality on the album is fantastic, as is evident right from the start, when Bernstein's classic march kicks things off in the "Main Title." The score is surprisingly varied when listened to as a whole -- it's not just a bunch of variations on the march.
		High anxiety figures prominently in cues leading up to the actual escape, as in "20 Feet Short" and "Foul Up." Finally, the last third of the album concentrates on the great escape itself, with Steve McQueen at the vanguard of the action.

		The 1994 album Parklife remained resolutely "English", although the songs were notably more "poppypy".
		This album sparked the sudden popularity of Brit-pop, which reached its height for Blur with the album The Great Escape in (1995).
		Apparently bored with the high-publicity "fights" with Oasis, and pidgeon-holed by the Britpop label, their next album Blur, released in 1997, marked a change in musical direction.

		RCA's The Great Escape presents a 1997 re-recording of the classic Elmer Bernstein score by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, not the original soundtrack.
		His main title theme is as much a tribute to the Allied prisoners in the film as it is to all men who must overcome the odds through their own perseverance and unwillingness to bend to defeat to whatever noble end they strive for.
		Once the Allied escapees are on the road, the music reaches exhilarating proportions unlike that of traditional action Hollywood scoring.

		The dapper Rhodesian Johnny Travis and his team of manufacturers made escape kit such as compasses from fragments of broken Bakelite gramophone records, melted and shaped and incorporating a tiny needle made from slivers of magnetised razor blades.
		The necessity to wait until the circuiting sentries were not close to the tunnel exit, and the need to exercise great discretion in sending the next man out, considerably slowed the throughput.
		The feature film of the Great Escape was made by the Mirish Company and released in 1963.

		Highlight of the album for me is the closing 'Yoku & Hiro' as it is quite a sad oriental tinged ballad.
		A confused band going through a very confused period have produced an album which is only worthy in the history of Blur as it does `kind-of` allow you to understand just what transitions they have been through in order to arrive at the truly grundbreaking `13`.
		The horrible `Country House` is mostly responsible for the unfair criticisms heaped upon this album.

		With "The Great Escape", Blur deliver their most cohesive and resonant vision, both musically and lyrically.
		"The Great Escape" released at the height of the Blur vs. Oasis showdown in the fall of 1995 (coinciding with the release of "Morning Glory"), doesn't expand much on the sonic experimentation of it's brilliant predecessor "Parklife." Instead, Blur seem to have put more focus on craft, resulting in an album of "songs".
		The lyric is simpler than anything else on the album, and the characters seems even more desolate because their isolation is communal.

		And on its third album, Blur takes 30 years of cool English rock, throws it into an art-punk Cuisinart, and ends up with a masterpiece of timeless hooks and Cockney attitude.
		I've owned this album for as many years as it's been available, and I've never gone very long without playing it.
		This could be one of the greatest albums ever released.

	The Great Escape - Elmer Bernstein (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		From the tense, strident opening phrase to the quirky tuba bass line and instantly memorable tune, it is one of those film themes that has surpassed the film it was written for and entered into the common consciousness.
		In the UK, the film is now bank holiday fodder and despite its title, the escape always struck me as not particularly great and the ending actually quite down beat.
		This being an escape movie, there is quite a lot of suspense, but the later action cues are rip roaring fun, notably More Action and The Chase.

	Bernstein: The Great Escape (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A perennial favourite, The Great Escape is one of the most legendary (and entertaining) films ever made, a product of a time when not every blockbuster action movie bent over backwards to pander to illiterate morons.
		Great, dynamic action music in Bernstein's unmistakable style; soaring emotion; classic suspense; a lovely, moving finale.
		The original vinyl album was a re-recording done at the time of the film with a vastly reduced orchestra; that recording was first issued on CD by Intrada, later by Rykodisc (who generously added dialogue snippets - every film music fan's dream come true) and finally, in mid-2004, by Varese Sarabande.

		i'd say their 'great escape' album is one of the best pop rock records ever...

		Fire Escape is their most accessible outing so far, yet the band bravely refuses to shave its balls in return for a shot at a Mojo-reading demographic.
		I associate the name with ARP synthesizers, the analog machines whose presence on an album from the 1970s meant long-form, spacey music for the heads was contained within the vinyl grooves.
		Sunburned`s new album seems to be a big favourite at the Uncut office, right after Babyshambles and no 2 at their office playlist.

	The Great Escape
		A stirring example of courage and the indomitable human spirit, for many John Sturges's The Great Escape is both the definitive World War II drama and the nonpareil prison escape movie.
		Closely based on Paul Brickhill's book, the various escape attempts, scrounging, forging, and ferreting activities are authentically realized thanks also to technical advisor Wally Flood, one of the original tunnel-digging POWs.
		Without trivializing the grim reality, The Great Escape thrillingly celebrates the heroism of men who never gave up the fight.

		In the simplest terms, The Great Escape is the flip side of Parklife.
		Where Blur's breakthrough album was a celebration of the working class, drawing on British pop from the '60s and reaching through the '80s, The Great Escape concentrates on the suburbs, featuring a cast of characters all trying to cope with the numbing pressures of modern life.
		However, none of this makes The Great Escape a burden or a difficult album.

		Meanwhile, Blur bassist Alex James declared that rock'n'roll was the greatest art form ever at the annual Oxford Union debate last week (November 4) - but then admitted that his own 'The Great Escape' album "was shit".
		The bassist, looking nervous and hesitant in front of several hundred students and academics, said that although music was the nation's sixth biggest export, the industry was basically run by fans.
		But he argued that it was still great art, stating: "Rock music is popular and the easiest way to define popularity is that it is something that is good."

		John Sturges's dramatization of the true story of a group of British, American, and Canadian POWs who successfully escaped from Stalag Luft III in Upper Silesia in March 1944 is arguably the best World War II adventure film ever made.
		For more than a year, 600 prisoners, most of whom won't be leaving, work toward an escape that will temporarily disrupt the operations of the German army.
		THE GREAT ESCAPE, based on the book by Paul Brickhill, featuring many key scenes (McQueen's motorcycle chase, McQueen tossing the baseball against the cell wall, Bronson sliding on his chest in the tunnel) that are simply unforgettable.
