Hunting High and Low is the debut album by Norwegian new wave band A-ha. Released on 1 June 1985 through Warner Bros.

The album was recorded at Eel Pie Studios in Twickenham, produced by Tony Mansfield, John Ratcliff and Alan Tarney.

I became a real fan of A-ha after hearing the sing Hunting High and Low for the first time. Take on Me was their hit that got me to know who A-ha were but Hunting was the song that got me hooked. They have a lot of good songs and it’s a shame that they didn’t make it huge here in the states.
