Alternative cover UK 7" sleeve

"I Can't Escape from You" is the fourth and final single from Act. Due to previous single "Chance" being withdrawn, ZTT Records hurriedly released "I Can't Escape from You" on 7 March 1988 (1988-03-07). The single reached #90 in the UK Singles Chart.

The 12" featured as a bonus track a cover of The Smiths' "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now". This would eventually be released on the CD version of the album Laughter, Tears and Rage three months later.
