“Nobody's Perfect” is a live album released in 1988 by
the British rock band Deep Purple. It was recorded during the tour in support
of “The House of Blue Light” in 1987 in Europe and the US. The outer sleeve
photography was designed by Aubrey Powell of Hipgnosis.
Track transitions are marked by fades. It also contains a new live in studio version of "Hush" to commemorate their 20th anniversary. "Black Night" was also re-recorded but never released. "Hard Lovin' Woman" includes parts of "Under the Gun" during Blackmore's guitar solo. "Strange Kind of Woman" includes the "Superstar" chorus from “Jesus Christ Superstar”. "Woman from Tokyo" changes into "Everyday" by Buddy Holly halfway through. The album represented Deep Purple's setlist at the time, which consisted much of the typical “Made in Japan” set, combined with newer material from the 1984 reunion album “Perfect Strangers” and “The House of Blue Light”. Songs such as "The Unwritten Law" and "Difficult to Cure" (which included an extended-riff from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, 4th Movement) were played every night on the tour, but were not included on this album. On some nights they also played "Call of the Wild" or "Mad Dog".

Trecerea de la o piesa la alta e marcata prin scaderi si cresteri treptate de sunet. Contine de asemenea o noua versiune live in studio a piesei “Hush”, pentru a comemora aniversarea lor de 20 de ani. “Black Night” a fost de asemenea re-reinregistrat, dar niciodata relansat. “Hard Lovin’ Woman” include parti din “Under the Gun” in timpul solo-urilor de chitara ale lui Blackmore. “Strange Kind of Woman” include corul “Superstar” din “Jesus Christ Superstar”. “Woman from Tokyo” se schimba in “Everyday” a lui Buddy Holly, pe la jumatate. Albumul reprezinta lista de concert a lui Deep Purple la acea vreme, care consista mult din tipicalul set de la “Made in Japan”combined cu materialul mai nou de la reuniunea din 1984, de pe albumul “Perfect Strangers” si “House of the Blue Light”. Cantece ca “Unwritten Law” si “Difficult to Cure” (care include si riff-ul extins din Simfonia a 9-a a lui Beethoven, miscarea a 4-a) au fost cantate in fiecare seara in turneu, dar nu au fost incluse pe acest album. In cateva nopti au cantat si “Call of the Wild” sau “Mad Dog”.
