Description
THE KORGIS were a classy pop act who enjoyed significant success in the early 1980s. Their entire output for Rialto Records appears here for the first time.

The band were formed in 1978 by two former members of Stackridge, Andy Davis and James Warren and scored their first hit with ‘If I Had You’ in 1979 (UK #13).

THE KORGIS will be forever synonymous with the title track of this new 2-CD package, which gifted them a smash hit in 1980 (UK #5, US #18, Australia #11 France #1, Spain # 1, Netherlands #3, Germany #3). ‘Everybody’s Got To Learn Sometime’ was subsequently covered by the likes of The Dream Academy, Yazz, Beck, etc.

This double-CD package boasts all of the band’s recordings for Rialto, including three whole albums: The Korgis (1979), Dumb Waiters (1980) and Sticky George (1981), as well as all of the band’s period A and B sides. ‘Wish You A Merry Christmas’ makes its debut on CD.

The Korgis reunited for a tour in 2015.

I might pick this up, always meant to get some of their music.

So, I have this other 2-CD comp, also purporting to contain all the Rialto recordings. It has no less that 3 versions of "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime," but does NOT include "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." It's that kind of thing that will get me to pony up again.
