Customer Reviews:

Almost as good as The Warrants..........2004-01-14

This album lived up to the expectations which were first created in 1985 with the release of the hit single (with the equally successful video clip) Take on me. But, it wasn't as good, or as fulfilling as John Doe and The Warrants: The Hits 1984 - 1990. My recomendation to any A-Ha, or Duran Duran fan is get yourself a copy of this, or any of their other hit albums (Sleep On Monday, Her Name was Lena)as you definitely won't be dissappointed.

A top album - John Doe and The Warrants.

To call these guys a "one-hit wonder" is the ultimate sin!.......2003-08-24

Chances are, these days, if you asked a random person on the street if he or she had heard of A-Ha, they would say no. If they said yes, then more than likely the only song they would remember the band for would be Take On Me. Because of that track's vast success, the band often goes unappreciated. But, hopefully the release of this compilation will change all that. Read on for my review of Headlines And Deadlines - The Hits Of A-Ha.

PROS:
It doesn't need to be said. If you just want to buy an A-Ha hits compilation for Take On Me, you'll find it on here. Plus, you'll also get several highly underrated tracks that have always had to live in the shadow of their lone hit. Many of these tracks are remix versions, which are extremely hard to find. Likewise, on this compilation, you get The Living Daylights, which was recorded for the James Bond film of the same name. Though this track never achieved the success of other Bond themes, like Duran Duran's A View To A Kill, it is no less excellent.

CONS:
There is only one real problem with this CD - When it was released. It was released in the early nineties, and though this seems like the ideal time to release a hits package for a group predominantly considered an "eighties band", the band has made several excellent tracks since this was released, and needless to say, you won't get those on here.

OVERALL:
This is the best A-Ha hits package out there, and it is strongly recommended to any fan of the band, casual or die-hard. Even if you're a die-hard fan of the band, it's very unlikely you'll ever find all of their material on CD (if you live in the United States), so I suggest you just buy this. It should be all the A-Ha you'll ever need.

Some great music from the 80's.......2003-06-02

Maybe you don't even know who A-ha is, but you sure know a song of theirs. When you first hear this album you might feel like "where do I know this track from?" but even if you can't remember, I'm sure it'll sound as good as if you could. The album gathers their 16 greatest hits, they're all amazing songs from the 80's that you have probably heard at least once in your life.
A-ha used to be a big band when I was younger (and they made a lot of success in my country), and this album proves that even if they're not so good as they used to be before, they have same classic songs that are going to stay in our memories forever. I bet you still remember "Take on me", don't you?

Scandinavian Talent!.......2002-11-25

I was 14 when a-ha stepped onto the scene in 1985.
Definitely the idea for the TAKE ON ME video was stuning, all that cartoons/live mixing was fresh stuff.
Plus the song was catchy and fast became a # 1 hit on both sides of the atlantic.
THE SUN ALWAYS SHINES ON TV did just great here in Europe but failed to repeat success in the US - although the mannequins storyboard for its video was just as good.
And the musical bridge boasts a great violin section.
A-ha proved to be polyedric artists: HUNTING HIGH AND LOW, TRAIN OF THOUGHTS are just nuggets, THE BLOOD THAT MOVES THE BODY and THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS (from the 1987 James Bond original soundtrack) border closely to high-class pop.
MANHATTAN SKYLINE and I'VE BEEN LOSING YOU are possibly the best tracks off their second album, while STAY ON THESE ROADS is a simple, well-crafted, radio-friendly tune.
The unreleased track MOVE TO MEMPHIS is stunningly poly-rhythmical, sensual and sung by a dark-voiced Morten Harkett.
The guys are long gone from the top of the charts but they're definitely not from my heart!

Siempre los mejores.......2002-04-24

Este album consiste en toda una recopilación de los mejores exitos de a-ha.
The sun always shines on T.V., Take on me, You are the one, Stay on these roads es uno de los exitos que mas me gustan de este excelente compacto. A-ha tiene otros hits excelentes com Living in a boys adventure que es tambien una de las mejores de este grupo el cual se puede encontrar en el famoso Hunting high and low.
A-HA por siempre en la memoria de los inovadores 80's

Customer Reviews:

Move to Memphis.......2001-08-15

The version of ýMove to Memphisý on this album really makes this album stand out. What a song and a rendition. This is much different than the version on the MEMORIAL BEACH album. This version seems to have a lot more movement to it but it gives you a feel of the direction their music was heading on MEMORIAL BEACH. ýThe Living Daylightsý is the version heard on the soundtrack album and not the one from STAY ON THESE ROADS. ýThe Sun Always Shines on T.V.ý and ýHunting High And Lowý (Remix) are fantastic. This is a good collection. It could have been better depending on your taste, but a-ha is so esoteric I donýt think you can ever please any of their fans with just one CD. Somebodyýs favorite song (s) is always going to be left out. This is still a must-have album.
