China Crisis - Flaunt The Imperfection [2CD Remastered] (1985/2017)

Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of the Liverpool band's 1985 album. The bonus CD includes non-album tracks, remixes, radio sessions and more. Flaunt the Imperfection is the third studio album by China Crisis. The album was produced by Steely Dan's Walter Becker, who proved to be such a huge influence on the album that he is listed as a band member on the album's credits. China Crisis was formed in 1979 in Kirkby, near Liverpool, Merseyside with a core of vocalist/keyboardist Gary Daly and guitarist Eddie Lundon. They were part of a wave of new Liverpool acts in the late 1970s and early 1980s, led by OMD and also including Echo and the Bunnymen, The Teardrop Explodes, A Flock of Seagulls and Frankie Goes to Hollywood. China Crisis had moderate success in the United Kingdom in the 1980s with five Top 40 singles and three Top 40 albums. The band also achieved a modest level of commercial success in Western Europe and Australia, and some minor chart successes in the Americas.
