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. -
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.

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.
