Escape (Journey album)

Journey's seventh album, Escape, was released in August of 1981. With three hit singles, Escape became Journey's biggest album yet, and remains one of their most popular and best-reviewed works-to-date.

The spelling of Escape as E5C4P3 on the cover art is similar to, but would seem to predate, leet spelling.
