China Crisis – Flaunt The Imperfection

One of CC’s best albums since their debut, which set the bar.

The first three Chine Crisis records are all excellent, but this one is their masterpiece. A terrific mix of catchy melodies, relaxed atmosphere and interesting ideas. A forever underrated band and yet with a catalog so much better than many of their better known bands in the 80s.

China Crisis - Flaunt The Imperfection This version of the album was produced and mixed extremely well. Pleasantly warm sound and, among other things, good pressure in the lower frequencies.

Masterpiece no really.The perfect China Crisis album.Superb production..Went to see them live recently and they where self defacingly brilliant.

First rate collection of sophisti-pop tunes courtesy of production by Steely Dan’s Walter Becker with deep bass lines, mellow horns, jazzy/ambient synth keyboards & a great laid-back groove. Were CC being ironic when they came up with the title? Underrated perfect little gem.

A phenomenal warm album. Every cut is excellent and in most cases outstanding. The first side is impeccable. The weakest cut is The World Spins with a Cars meet Spyro Gyra feel, but still a CZ among the diamonds. For fans of Steely Dan, Talking Heads, Roxy Music and Tears for Fears. Highly recommended.

My vinyl lp has a very similar matrix runout except A side is "...SR1..." and B side is "...SR2..." Also each side has a small logo like an upper case "S" with a smaller upper case "R" inside and I can't really make it out, but I'm assuming an upper case "C" in the bottom half of the "S".

Incredible album.. Thought this was a 'Best of' when I first heard it.
Just buy it if you ever come across this masterpiece. And it should be relatively easy, as it (not surprisingly)sold very well.

Thirty-plus years on and this is still fresh as a daisy. Walter Becker applied the necessary, rounded off all the edges and gave everything a mature gloss. The songs are rock solid and (luckily) these days don't get played much so retain that 'just minted' quality. They tried to repeat the trick but somehow it wasn't to be. Great up-tempo / down-tempo relaxing music to get you going.

Is the cover art of the Spanish edition in color red? Thanks.
