Overview:
Hunting High and Low is the debut album by Norwegian new wave band A-ha. Released on 1 June 1985 through Warner Bros. Records, the album was a huge commercial success selling more than 10 million units worldwide, peaking at #15 in the United States Billboard 200 and reaching high positions on charts worldwide. The album was recorded at Eel Pie Studios in Twickenham, produced by Tony Mansfield, John Ratcliff and Alan Tarney.
In all, five singles from the album were released, though not all were released internationally: "Take on Me", "Love Is Reason", "The Sun Always Shines on T.V.", "Train of Thought" and "Hunting High and Low". The group was nominated for best new artist at the Grammy Awards in 1986, making A-ha the first Norwegian band to be nominated for a Grammy.
As part of a re-release of their first two albums, Hunting High and Low was expanded and remastered in 2010.

I think it’s safe to say that A-Ha is an artist that almost everyone who was around during the 80s knows about. I mean they‘re responsible for one of the most popular 80s songs ever Take On Me which is on this album. Hunting High and Low is my favorite album from A-Ha and it’s not because of Take On Me. It’s actually because of Hunting High and Low and You Tell Me.
 
Lol this is a good one. I still think till this day that Take on Me is one of the best music videos ever.
