Blue Colour Vinyl LP

Originally issued on Virgin Records in April 1985, Flaunt The Imperfection 
represented the high-water mark of the first phase of the group, yielding two 
UK Top 20 singles and a showing in the Top 10 albums chart  -  Released here 
in beautiful 40th Anniversary 180g blue vinyl
 Those who knew and followed China Crisis didn't blink an eyelid when it was 
announced that Steely Dan's Walter Becker was to produce the Liverpudlian 
experimental pop outfit's third album. Gary Daly and Eddie Lundon's gossamer 
modernism and melodic touches often came straight out of Steely Dan's playbook, in 
the very best way  not aping or lifting, just subtly taking elements of their influence 
using rhythms, repetition and melody creating a subtle sonic palette. 
Flaunt The Imperfection is packed with sunshine pop, full of China Crisis' trademark 
oblique lyrics and to-die-for hooks  the hits "Black Man Ray", "You Did Cut 
Me" ("scouse soul"  with Careless Whisper's Steve Gregory on sax) and "King In A 
Catholic Style" underline this. The album also includes fan favourites such as "Bigger 
The Punch I'm Feeling" and the beautifully serene "Blue Sea".
