Nude (Dead or Alive album)

Nude is the fourth studio album by British pop group Dead or Alive, released in Japan on December 18th, 1988 and in Europe and America in July 1989 on Epic Records. Nude marked the first Dead or Alive release which was solely produced by core members Pete Burns and Steve Coy, as during the album's production, Tim Lever and Mike Percy were fired from the band. While the album was not as commercially successful in the band's native United Kingdom as their previous offerings, the album peaked within the top 10 in Japan, charted for 18 weeks, and produced the band's biggest hit single in the territory, Turn Around and Count 2 Ten, which peaked atop the Oricon Singles Chart. The album was re-released in the UK in 2016 as a part of the comprehensive box set Sophisticated Boom Box MMXVI.
