Camel: Nude
Nude is the eighth studio album by the English progressive rock band Camel, released in January 1981. A concept album, it is based on a true story of a Japanese soldier (Hiroo Onoda) marooned on an island during the Second World War who does not realise that the war is over. The title derives from his family name, 'Onoda'. The album mainly comprises instrumentals; only a few tracks contain lyrics. The lyrics were mainly written by Susan Hoover, except those for "Please Come Home", which were written by Andrew Latimer. It is the last Camel album to date to feature original drummer Andy Ward, and the last to feature more than one original member. On 24 November 2023, a new edition of the album was remastered by Ben Wiseman and with new mixes by Stephen W. Tayler for Universal Music.
