[1] The label was set up and operated by Saul Galpern,[2] who had previously worked with artists such as Simply Red, The Fall, Julian Cope, The Triffids, The Slits and Au Pairs.

[7] The collapse of the label led to delays with Black Box Recorder's third album, Passionoia, which was not released until 2003.

It featured songs from up-and-coming British bands such as Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party, Kaiser Chiefs, The Libertines, Razorlight and others (although none of the artists had ever been signed to Nude).

However, The Independent commented that it was "easily surpassed by an hour on iTunes"[12] and the label was officially dissolved in July 2007.
