Rhino Original Album Series by a-ha, Five-Album Box Set

For a focused return to a-ha, this box set brings five named albums together. It suits listeners who want to move across several releases rather than pick just one. The collection covers a-ha’s early albums through to Memorial Beach. That makes it a handy way to explore more of the band’s catalogue in one purchase.

Practical tips

The set includes Hunting High and Low, Scoundrel Days, Stay On These Roads, East of the Sun, West of the Moon and Memorial Beach. Use those titles to check whether the albums you most want are included, particularly if you are buying it to replace or revisit a specific release. If you are new to a-ha, listening in the listed order offers a straightforward route through the collection, if you already know the band, you can go directly to the albums you remember best.

As a box set, it is aimed at collecting several albums together, not at choosing a single favourite. It could suit a home listening session where you want to follow different moods across the band’s releases, or a gift for someone who already enjoys a-ha. The product details identify it as discontinued by the manufacturer, so the set’s ongoing availability is not assured.

What stands out

The main appeal is the five-album selection, which gives the set more range than a purchase centred on one album. The named releases include familiar starting points such as Hunting High and Low alongside later titles such as Memorial Beach. That breadth is useful if you want to revisit different stages of the catalogue without assembling the albums separately.

Customer comments are especially positive about the songs and the collection as a whole. Some listeners also value its ballads, sound and melancholic feel, while others mention the nostalgia of returning to the music. Those are personal reactions rather than guarantees of how the set will sound or feel to every listener, but they help explain its appeal to existing fans.

What to know

The listing identifies this as a box set, but does not specify the number of discs or give a track-by-track listing. If you need to confirm a particular song, edition detail or physical format before buying, the information here does not settle that point. The album titles are the clearest guide to what is included.

You’ll like it if you want several a-ha albums in one collection and enjoy listening across a band’s catalogue. Better avoided if you only want one particular release: a single-album purchase would be a more direct fit. The customer feedback is enthusiastic, though its praise reflects individual listening preferences rather than a promise of a particular sound experience.

When it makes sense

Choose the Original Album Series if the five included albums match the part of a-ha’s catalogue you want to hear, or if you are looking for a compact way to revisit multiple releases. It is less targeted than buying one album alone, but that wider selection is precisely its practical advantage for listeners who want more than a single title. Fans drawn to a-ha’s songs, ballads and nostalgic appeal are the clearest audience, anyone buying for a specific track or edition should first establish whether it is included.
