a-ha – Hunting High And Low

This version comes with the original jacket artwork and a very high quality recreation of the original photo inner sleeve. It has the original WB labels.

My copy is *nearly* perfectly flat and has *virtually* no surface noise and sounds excellent.

Like some people below my copy skipped on Take On Me and another song on Side A out of the sleeve, but after a very quick and basic cleaning with a microfibre cloth and distilled water the skips were gone.

Does any version of The Sun Always Shines on TV exist without the static/distortion over the climax of the song at the very end, where the final "to meeeee" is laid over both the guitar riff and the keyboard riff at once? It's the loudest part of the song but I think the distortion might be on the actual master as it's present on this original LP, the original Headlines and Deadlines LP, and the H&D reissue as well as all digital versions I've heard. I don't mind it, it's only a couple of moments and it shows just how nuts that part of the song is, but I'm curious about whether it's baked onto the original tape.

The epitome and cringe inducing horror of the techno-crooner. Excellent sounding edition can be cranked. I love Take Me On and the video was the gold standard of the day!

After giving the album a thorough cleaning with an ultrasonic machine, the sound quality is truly remarkable. It's incredibly quiet, with no unwanted noise or static—just pure, crisp audio. The way it captures that signature 80s sound is absolutely perfect, evoking nostalgia while sounding fresh and flawless. Honestly, it doesn’t get any better than this—every note, every beat is clearer and more vibrant, making the listening experience feel as if it’s right from the original era, but with a modern touch of clarity.

Too bad there's no live tracks....more words words words words

Has anyone else also experienced notable sibilance on all the tracks, and not just those closest to the centre?

This album sounds amazing! So dynamic you won’t regret buying this high quality audiophile Japanese

Soa muito bem, aquele som analógico bom. Talvez esse álbum tenha sido gravado em digital já? Soa muito limpo e cristalino. Ótima prensagem. Pesquisando aqui, usaram o Sony PCM-3324, então sim, master digital.

Sounds really good, that good old nice analog sound. Maybe this album was recorded digitally? Sounds very clean and crystalline. Great pressing. Searched and found out they used Sony PCM-3324, so digital master.

Very pleased with this pressing and found a Mint copy for a great price. It sounds very very good!

Does any know if this version has printed lyrics included? Thanks!
