Mike + The Mechanics – Nobody’s Perfect (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1988

Originally posted April 30, 2012

“Nobody’s Perfect” was the first single from Mike + The Mechanics sophomore album “Living Years”. The single failed to make much impact on the charts only peaking at #63 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and #80 UK. Thankfully it served a far better purpose as the albums opening track giving it an instant distinction with its industrial chimes and upfront lyrics. The song also appeared in the Miami Vice episode “Hard Knocks”.
