About

Flaunt the Imperfection is the third studio album by English new wave and synth-pop band China Crisis, released on 29 April 1985 by Virgin Records. The album was produced by Steely Dan co-founder Walter Becker, who is credited as an official member of China Crisis on the record sleeve. Becker apparently requested to meet with the band after hearing their song "Papua" from their previous studio album Working with Fire and Steel – Possible Pop Songs Volume Two (1983). He was subsequently signed on as producer to begin work on the album with the assistance of Phill Brown, sound engineer with the Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix. The album is the most successful by the band, peaking at No. 9 on the UK Albums Chart and staying for 22 weeks. The singles "Black Man Ray" and "King in a Catholic Style" both reached the Top 20 in the UK Singles Chart.
