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] It was the band's first self-produced album. During the album's production Tim Lever and Mike Percy were fired from the band. The album proved to be a massive success in Japan, where a companion remix album was released with the title Nude – Remade Remodelled. In 2021, RetroPop Magazine retrospectively described Nude as the "perfect Dead or Alive album" and "their strongest offering overall".[3]
