killer album..Saw these guys in Malibu Beach Club in New York and was blown away!...Hey does anyone have the last track on that album? It was Blue Sea sung by Eddie...I loved totally zoning out when that song was on!!
Flaunt the Imperfection was my introduction to these guys. I nearly wore the cassette out. Every track is perfect, musically smooth. 26 years later and it's on my playlist when I go running or biking. China Crisis, Spandau Ballet, Railway Children, Roxy Music, Church and Simple Minds- for me a few of the best quality bands of the 80s.
Perfect Album...classic... listened to this album again and again since 90s when a friend gave this as a gift to me. Every track in this album is gorgeous and makes me high!
Flaunt is one of my all Fav albums, what a production by Mr Becker... Caught up with Gary the other month and the boys are playing again. I'd love to get them down here to Oz.... Alxx
I'm not tryin to be a d bag here or anything though the GREAT GARY KATZ dropped HOT production ( the most vital ingredient ) on all of Steely Dan's Seventies Studio SSSSSSSSSSSgreatness.
These guys must have been fans of Steely Dan. Their music sound so much like that of Steely Dan's. Not sure if they've got the same producers. Can someone confirm?
Simply stunning. I clearly remember this being played on one of the independent radio stations in Rome, Italy. Back then, even quality music spread through the airwaves. Thank you, CC.
This is from China Crisis's best album. All tracks from Flaunt the Imperfection are top notch. So glad I got this album and treasured it so much. Until now I'm searching for a band that would come close to China Crisis... so far none!
isa to sa mga paborito kong crisis' tracks. btw naghahanap ako ng warped wheel tracks nila sa torrent..any help? wala din sa itunes, meron cd sa amazon pero super mahal
I just love the groovy, feline funk of this track!! Gotta be one of my top CC tracks - second only to "Black Man Ray". I've played it in the car a few times to unsuspecting friends and they've always been taken aback by it wondering who the band is. I reckon it would have a huge hit if they'd released it as a single.
Ha! Believe it or not, I heard a muzak version of this in 2000 while I was working at JC Penny in Daytona Beach. I thought, "Wow, now I know I am gettin' old when this is muzaked!"
@BluePapillon88 - Thanks for uploading...love it! Do you happen to have "Everyday The Same" song? That's also one of the hardest to find songs of China Crisis.
Maravilhoso!!!!

Also my favourite China Crisis, along with Christian. Sould have been a single.
The production on this is just excellent - a really good pop song.
Favourite line: 'You could be close to, the way you want to...'
The only part I think lets it down is way it peters out at the end.
