"Invincible" is a boxset compilation album of great hits by English band Dead or Alive. This box set was published soon on October 9, 2020. It was released by Edsel Records.
With future release plans made prior to both of their separate and untimely passing, to focus on the post-1990 period, this 9CD box set includes 103 tracks across five individual album sets, all newly mastered for this box set, with a 28-page hardback book.
Featuring ‘Fan The Flame (Part 1)’, ‘Nukleopatra’, ‘Fragile’ and ‘Unbreakable – The Fragile Remixes’, ‘INVINCIBLE’ also includes 60 additional mixes, with many acapella and instrumental versions of previously released tracks and their recordings for the U2, Madonna and Prince tribute albums.
The fifth ‘album’ in the box set is a 2-disc set ‘Spin Drive’ which includes a combination of 25 tracks and mixes of ‘You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)’ and ‘Sex Drive’. Two of Pete’s versions with the Italian group Glam are also featured.
Although the track was first performed live in Japan in 1990, ‘INVINCIBLE’ gives the debut official release to ‘My Love’s On The Line’, the master tape for which was discovered last year in Steve Coy’s archive.

- It has been reported that for some people, the two records of the E.P. "Spin Drive" plays the content of the two discs from "Fan the Flame (Part 1)".
- In the digital release of the recent edition of "Fragile" included in this boxset, in some songs you can hear a few clicks in the background.
- In the digital release of "Nukleopatra" that is included in this boxset, they were confused in correctly writing the corresponding versions.
