Hunting High and Low, the classic 1985 debut album from a-ha, is being reissued as a 6LP vinyl box set in February 2023.

This new 6LP vinyl edition offers the same audio content as the four CDs in the 2015/2019 sets, bringing the amazing array of demos, alternates and remixes to vinyl for the very first time. The audio is the 2015 remasters. It comes with a 64-page booklet which no doubt will offer the same kind of content as the original CD super deluxe with extensive sleeve notes and photography.

The vinyl box set audio content is formatted as follows: LP1 - Hunting High and Low; LP2+3 - The Demos 1982-1984; LP4+5 - Singles, Extended Versions & B-sides; and LP6 - The Early Mixes.

That's 60 tracks in total across six 140-gram vinyl records. The record sleeves boast some of the wonderful pencil sketches made famous in the "Take On Me" video, and the sleeves are housed in an outer slipcase.
