Dead Or Alive – Nude

I loved this album when it came out and (at 14 mind you) couldn't figure out why it didn't go straight to number 1 on the charts. I got the internationaly released version but was always curious about the extra tracks the Japanese release had. Unfortunately it was always just to expensive for me to buy until I came across seller 'Pravda341' who had a mint condition and still in factory seal. So 27 years after it was released I finally got my affordable and most desired version of the album and it's still great. Come Home With Me Baby should have been a #1 single; it's just one of the best dance music tracks ever & proof Pete didn't need the band to make great music, it was and is their best album by far and one of the first albums I ever heard in "continuous mix". I was very happy with the price (€11) and the communication and service of the seller (Pravda341); I'd buy from him again. The cd arrived very quickly even though it was sent from Russia. Great album, great seller = very happy customer. The music is just brilliant, no filler like on previous albums. The only disappointment is that the song 'Love Toy' is just 2 minutes long, it should have been included in full (I've since heard the full version on YouTube and its a pretty decent track). If you're a Pete or DOA fan, this album is as good as it gets 😆.

I recently talked about what Single Versions (or what versions are on the album), of youthquake & mad, bad & dangerous to know. Thought I would do this one next. So nude was the 4th album by dead or alive. It was the end of them working with SAW & Pete & Steve were the only 2 still in the band. So both of them worked on it alone together & Pete said in an interview that he thought it was his best work. However in a newer interview he said he wanted another hit (Come home), so he could leave & not show his face again. Technically it's really a Pete burns album with Steve working on instrumentals, but I think the label thought it Would sell better under the band name, plus they were signed under that name. Here's the info about what versions are on this
Turn around & count 2 ten - it used the 12" version that was used in the video, but it had a vocal intro & was slightly shorter. This album continued into each track so the ending goes into the next song
Baby Don't Say Goodbye - the album version uses a different intro, but it's pretty much close to the extended mix. Every mix was pretty much the same it just used a different intro & some extended instrumental parts or edited down parts.
Come Home With Me Baby - This was rerecorded & remixed for its single release. Like they always did, at least one or 2 songs off the album would be remixed a lot or slightly & at least one would be rerecorded. I'm pretty sure it only used a few new vocals, but the instrumental was completely different. This is the only song on the album that isn't close to the single version, besides the vocals because only some are different on the Single Mix.
Now there is a bonus track Version of this album. It had baby don't say goodbye (alternative mix) which was pretty much the radio edit. Give It Back That Love is mine instrumental. I'm not sure why it was put on as a bonus track but I personally love the instrumental. Then love you instrumental. This is probably the only reason to by the bonus track version besides the album artwork. It had the unreleased song from the album, but sadly it was like a 2 minute instrumental. The boxset just released has the full Version of love Toy. The instrumental on this has a slightly different intro & maybe was an early instrumental mix. Also Japan's artwork for each version is different. It has Pete in a blue / grey background with chains & hes wearing chains in the photos on the cover. I think the cover is better then the flower one, but the flower one probably goes better with the theme. I'm sure the record company said no to the chained cover, but they allowed it for Japan.
