Nukleopatra Lives On

In this final episode, Barry is joined by Peter Oxendale who co wrote 9 of the 12 songs that made up the Nukleopatra album.

Barry also takes us on a journey of creating a brand new song using a long forgotten vocal that he recorded Pete singing over 30 years ago. His co writers Julian Gingell & Hannah Robinson talk us through the evolution of writing the Belvedere Kane with Dead Or Alive song ‘Legends (Forever Young)’.

All Hail Di Vidos

Di Vidos talks to Barry this episode about her fascinating journey with Dead Or Alive which began in 1984 when Di was part of the management team CMO. Di became a close friend to the band and played a huge part in their success - it was Di who suggested the band should go to Japan! Encouraged by photographer friends Mario Testino and Paul Cox it was during those early trips to Japan that Di first photographed Dead Or Alive. Her photographs of Pete were used throughout the Nukleopatra era and many of her shots became the cover images for versions of the album released around the world. Barry gives his insight into recording the tracks ‘Picture This’, ‘Getting It On’ and the album’s title track ‘Nukleopatra’.
