      Sticky George is the third studio album by English pop band, The Korgis, released on Rialto Records in the UK on 10 July 1981.
      The Korgis recorded Sticky George after they returned to England from a promotional tour in the United States. A number of tracks intended for the album had been written before the end of 1980.
      The album includes the singles "That Was My Big Mistake", "All the Love in the World", "Don't Say That It's Over" and "Sticky George" - some were released as The Korgis and others under the name James Warren & The Korgis.
      Sticky George was re-issued on CD by Edsel Records in 1999.
      The album was followed by the non-album single "Don't Look Back" (produced by Trevor Horn)/"Xenophobia", released on London Records in June 1982. Both tracks are included on the 2003 compilation Don't Look Back - The Very Best of The Korgis.


      Critical reception



      Upon its release, Record Business wrote, "Lush harmonies and quirky west country ideas are the trademarks of the Korgis, who can always be relied upon to make beautifully produced records. The carefully textured layers of guitar and synthesizer that underpin the saccharine sweet vocals of James Warren are well controlled, making sure the songs stay the right side of bland." Greg McMillan of the Canadian newspaper The Hamilton Spectator commented that the Korgis are "to pop music in the 80s what 10cc was to the 70s" whereby they "sit back and observe, then create billowy and layered pop songs". He added that the album is "no-frills electro-pop that is inoffensive and lacking in brashness" and "well-crafted alternative rock where any kind of flaw at all is hard to locate".
