Prensagem ok, mas não tem a mesma qualidade de outros albums do A-HA prensados no Brasil.

Ok pressing, but it hasn't the same quality as other A-HA albums pressed in Brazil.

Great album, well recorded. Scoundrel days is better but I liked this a lot.

This is the band's third album. Less appreciated than the first 2 LPs, but for me it's a good album, a little underrated - Questo è il terzo album della band. Meno apprezzato dei primi 2 LP, ma per me è un buon album, un pò sottovalutato.

I don’t really like these “deluxe editions”; a-ha’s paucity of material outside of the album tracks necessitates the use of demos to beef up the package. Demos are just that; embryonic versions of the final product. Sure it’s is interesting but not essential and the 12” mixes are dreadful re-edits using overdubs simply to leverage another couple of minutes out of the track, destroying the original in the process.

At least it’s reasonably priced.

Good set - but "The Living Daylights (Extended Version)" is an absolute abomination!

"WX 164C" haha this one was subtle, took time to find the version for my copy

That summer of 1988 I turned 11 and I asked my parents a A-ha cassette for my birthday. We had enough money for 2 so I picked Scoundrel Days and this one.

I loved working my english by translating, in my head, the lyrics and titles of this album. Was already a fan of the band but these songs were new to me.
Touchy! is retrospectively a weak song but is sure a big chart topper.
My favorite songs on this one have always been Stay on these Roads, This Alone is Love, Out of Blue Comes Green... and they're still today!

I still have that exact cassette from my childhood.
When I got my first job I bought it again on CD and it's now a pleasure to get the album on 12" LP and the 7" versions of the singles :)

Vinyl sounds great, the envelope is well printed. If you find this release in good condition, you can buy it.
