Nukleopatra is the sixth studio album from British dance music band Dead or Alive and last record to feature all-original content. Still a massive success in Japan, Epic Records released Nukleopatra there in 1995. Left without a record contract in the UK and the US, this album did not get released in other territories until years later. Nukleopatra was eventually issued on several different labels, with varying track listings, timings and album artwork.
Included in this album is the song "Sex Drive", originally recorded and released by lead singer Pete Burns as a one-time guest vocalist for Italian house music act Glam.
The album was recorded in PWL Studios.
The Japanese version features longer versions of the tracks "Nukleopatra" and "Sex Drive" and a re-recorded versions of the 1990 tracks, "Unhappy Birthday", and "Gone Too Long", which appeared on the previous Dead or Alive album, Fan the Flame (Part 1).
The European / Australian version includes a longer, different version of "Rebel Rebel".
The European / Australian and the US versions both swap the re-recorded version of "Unhappy Birthday" with that song's original 1990 12" Remix, previously released as the 'Ninja Billy Mix'. This version of the album also includes the 1996 'Sugar Pumpers Radio Remix' of "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)".
The US version features shortened versions of "Getting It On" and "Spend the Night Together". It also includes an exclusive 'Jail House Mix' of "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" and the 'Scream Driven Mix' of "Sex Drive".
Both the 'Sugar Pumpers Radio Remix' of "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" and the 'Scream Driven Mix' of "Sex Drive" later appeared on the US double CD You Spin Me Round / Sex Drive remixes.
