Stripped (Pretty Maids album)

Stripped is the fifth studio album by the Danish hard rock/heavy metal band Pretty Maids, released on 6 September 1993 by Columbia Records.[2] In 1992, Pretty Maids released an extended play with acoustic versions entitled Offside for the Japanese market. Due to the success of Offside, the band decided to record a full-length acoustic album with a mixture of new songs and cover songs.[2] "Savage Heart" had previously been released on Jump the Gun (1990), and "Please Don't Leave Me", "In the Minds of the Young", "39" and "Heartbeat from Heaven" were released on Offside. The single "Please Don't Leave Me" reached number 10 on the Danish Singles Chart in 1993.[1]
