The
Getaway is singer Chris de Burgh's sixth album. It was the first studio
album of de Burgh's to chart in the UK, following the compilation Best
Moves a year earlier. The album peaked at number 30 in the UK and spent
16 weeks on the chart. In the week beginning 7 February 1983, the album
went to the top of the album charts in the then West Germany. In Canada
the album spent 36 weeks in the Top 100.
The album was spearheaded by
the U.S. top 40 hit, "Don't Pay the Ferryman", an upbeat,
mythology-tinged pop rock song that evokes images of the Grim Reaper,
which also became his first UK hit single, reaching number 48.
Another
song from the album which has become a de Burgh fan-favourite is
"Borderline", the story of a conscientious objector who chooses to flee
with his lover than be drafted for military service. A staple of de
Burgh's live act, the song's story was continued in 1986's "Say Goodbye
to It All" from the later album Into the Light.
Drums on the album were played by Steve Negus of the Canadian progressive rock band Saga.
Some
of the guest vocalists were Anthony Head, Diane Davison (Chris de
Burgh's wife) and Miriam Stockley (who also collaborated with Mike
Oldfield on the album The Millennium Bell (1999).
