Dead Or Alive’s Nukleopatra is getting its first-ever vinyl release to mark its 25th anniversary.
The 1995 album will be issued as a special double coloured vinyl pressing, marking the first time that the album has been commercially released on vinyl in its original form.
Nukleopatra was the band’s sixth studio album and was initially released only in Japan in 1995 – although different versions were later released worldwide between 1996 and 1998. It was never issued in the UK until a re-worked version was included within the Sophisticated Boom Box MMXVI box set in 2016.
