Escape, Vol. 1: Classic Radio Collection

From 1947 to 1954, CBS¿s Escape was radio¿s leading high-adventure anthology series. The show¿s famous opening, delivered by Paul Frees and William Conrad, asked: ¿Tired of the everyday grind? Ever dream of a life of romantic adventure? Want to get away from it all? We offer you ¿ Escape!¿ This was followed by another announcer adding, ¿Escape!
