About this album

Flaunt the Imperfection is the album where China Crisis turned polished new wave into something warmer, sharper and more durable. Released in 1985, it brought the Liverpool group wider attention with a sound that balanced synth-pop precision, melodic sophistication and a distinctly understated emotional tone. Produced by Steely Dan's Walter Becker, the record gave their songwriting a tauter frame and helped underline their knack for elegant, radio-ready pop that still felt subtly off-centre. Songs such as Black Man Ray and King in a Catholic Style became key examples of the band's skill with memorable hooks, cool arrangements and wry, literate detail. It remains their best-known and most admired album.
