Nude is the fourth studio album by British pop group Dead or Alive, released in Japan in December 1988 and in Europe and America in July 1989 on Epic Records.[2] The album proved to be a massive success in Japan, where a companion remix album was released shortly after with the title Nude – Remade Remodelled.[3] In 2021, RetroPop Magazine retrospectively described Nude as the "perfect Dead or Alive album" and "their strongest offering overall".[4]
