This World's for Everyone

This World's For Everyone is the fourth studio album by English pop band The Korgis. It was released in France, the Netherlands, Spain and Japan in 1992 and in Germany in 1993.

Background
In 1989, original Korgis member James Warren and former Korgis member John Baker were performing in Bath and Bristol areas as a duo called the Beat Brothers. Later in the year, Warren and original Korgis member Andy Davis reunited after they were approached by the Bristol-based International Hostage Release Foundation, who were gathering artists for the recording of a charity album to raise money for their cause. The duo re-recorded their 1980 hit "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" for the project. the release was delayed until August 1990. In 1990, Davis suggested to Warren that they record a new Korgis album based on the material he believed they must individually have lying around as songwriters. Warren agreed and the pair decided to make the Korgis a trio by inviting Baker as the main vocalist. Speaking to the Western Daily Press in 1992, Warren said, "We are excited it's all gone so well, pure magic." The album prominently featured Davis's Hammond B-3 organ, which he had acquired from a derelict church. With the band unable to secure a deal for a UK release of the album, they focused on securing licensing deals in other territories. A deal was quickly signed for a release in France with Jacques Attali's independent label JBM. Attali had previously worked with the Korgis under the Disques Vogue label in the early 1980s. A deal was also secured for Japan via Alfa Records, the Netherlands via Dureco, and Spain via Sanni Records. In 1993, it was released in Germany by Eurostar with a different sleeve, followed by a release in South Korea via Jigu Records in 1994. It did not receive a UK release until 2007, when it was issued on CD by Angel Air Records with five bonus tracks. but they soon realised that a profitable tour was not going to be viable and ceased planning any further shows. ==Critical reception==
Critical reception
Jo-Ann Greene of AllMusic described the Korgis as a "sophisticated pop group" who "reached new aural heights of lushness" with ''This World's for Everyone''. She noted that "strong melodies and catchy choruses reign supreme, with every song emphasizing the band's exquisite vocals and ferocious musical talent". ==Track listing==
