Naked is the debut studio album by the English new wave and synth-pop band Kissing the Pink, released on 27 May 1983 by Magnet Records. The album peaked at No. 54 on the UK Albums Chart in June 1983, and produced their Top 20 hit "The Last Film". The song was their best performing single in the UK, and the only one to break the top 75. It is their only album to feature singer Sylvia Griffin who left the band before the album was completed.
32 years after its original release, Naked was reissued in 2015 as a remastered special edition CD by Cherry Red, which includes the 12 original album tracks plus seven related bonus tracks all sourced from the original master tapes.
