Korgis (The)

The entire output of The Korgis’ time at Rialto Records appears here for the first time.

Forever synonymous with the title track of this 2CD 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.
