Flaunt It by Sigue Sigue Sputnik
Flaunt It is an album by Sigue Sigue Sputnik, released in 1986. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Love Missile F1-11”, on 3 lists with a best position of #38.
Flaunt It, Sigue Sigue Sputnik's debut, hit the racks on Parlophone on 28 July 1986, and it's pure neon flash pressed onto vinyl. The band was the London brainchild of Tony James, once the bassist in Generation X, and Giorgio Moroder gets the producer credit. The sound is sequencer throb hot-wired to glam trash, borrowing the electronic menace of Suicide and the strut of the New York Dolls.
The record leans on remixed versions of the band's two hits, "Love Missile F1-11" and "21st Century Boy", with Ray Mayhew's drums pounding away under the synth sirens. Subtle it isn't, and it has no interest in being subtle. It climbed to number 10 on the UK albums chart.
