A-HA Hunting High And Low

a-ha rocketed to stardom in dramatic fashion in 1985 when the group’s debut single, “Take On Me,” topped the charts in 36 different countries on its way to becoming one of the best-selling singles of all time. The following year, a-ha was nominated for Best New Artist in 1986, making a-ha the first Norwegian band to be nominated for a Grammy®. Their legacy continues to grow in 2019, as the iconic music video for “Take On Me” nears billion views on YouTube, a feat very few artists have accomplished before. Rhino will introduce a new version of HUNTING HIGH AND LOW 30th ANNIVERSARY EDITION on November 15 titled HUNTING HIGH AND LOW EXPANDED EDITION. It will include all four CDs from the original 2015 release along with an edited version of the booklet presented in a 10-panel Softpack including essay by Kieron Tyler. The first disc of the HUNTING HIGH AND LOW EXPANDED EDITION features a remastered version of the original album, which has sold more than 10 million copies since its 1985 debut.
