What Price Paradise is the fourth studio album by English new wave group China Crisis. The first album to feature new keyboardist Brian McNeil, it included songs that now credited all five bandmembers as songwriters. Although the album's lead-off single, "Arizona Sky" only saw modest success in the band's homeland and Australia, it became a breakthrough hit in North America, cracking the top 40 on the U.S. Billboard Adult Contemporary charts. Follow-up single "Best Kept Secret" was slightly more successful in the U.K. than its predecessor, reaching number 36 on the British charts, though it did not chart in the U.S. The album itself peaked at number 114 on the U.S. Billboard 200, becoming the band's highest charting album stateside, while peaking at 63 in the U.K., paling in comparison to the success of their previous album in their native country. The album was released on CD, LP and Cassette in 1986. The CD version featured one bonus track: "Trading in Gold", originally released on the B-side of the "Arizona Sky" single. A three CD deluxe edition of the album was released in January 2022.
