a-ha were created in 1982 by Paul Waaktaar Savoy (guitars), Magne Furuholmen (keyboards) and Morten Harket (vocals). The band first rose to fame in the UK during the mid 80s with the hit singles "Take On Me" (No.2) and "The Sun Always Shines On TV", their only UK number one. They have sold over 35 million albums worldwide making them the best-selling Norwegian music act in history. 

The trio's biggest success came from their debut album, Hunting High and Low in 1985, which peaked at no.1 in their native Norway, and no.2 in the UK.

80s Albums:

1985 Hunting High and Low

1986 Scoundrel Days

1988 Stay on These Roads

Spookily, all three albums peaked at No.2 in the UK album charts.

a-ha - Cry Wolf (original extended mix) 1987

For those of you who enjoyed the 80s 12 inch vinyl versions, here is the original mix from 1987. Cry Wolf was the second single to be taken from the band's second album Scoundrel Days, and reached No.5 in the UK singles chart.

a-ha - The Living Daylights (1987)

This was the theme tune to the James Bond movie of the same name. The original version of the track was composed by the band's guitarist Paul Waaktaar-Savoy and John Barry.

However, a second version of the song was created by a-ha for their album Stay On These Roads, and they did not want to credit Barry on this version. Apparently, John Barry fell-out with the band and described them as "difficult to work with".
