a-ha also gets it when it comes to deluxe editions. All albums from Hunting High & Low (1985) to Lifelines (2002) have gotten the expanded treatment.

Who cares? I’d rather A-ha be making music than not. Besides I paid £1000 for two front row seats and a weekend in London for the ‘Ending on a High Note’ tour. The band were / are the soundtrack to my 35 year partnership with my wife. Was I pissed when I heard a year later they had reformed? Not really as I had a f___ing excellent weekend! Lol So if anybody *should* be pissed that person would be me. 😉 I personally don't take A HA seriously... But I can imagine what this board would be like if DD squeezed additional pennies out of their fans with their 'farewell' tour only to come back a year later.. I don't think this board would care much as many would go to the gigs irrespectively of how they badged the tour. And I suspect that many of us would be pleased if the band made a comeback from retirement.

No releases or anything apart from Five Years. And their farewell tour wasin 2008 over here 😀

You’re from the USA, so why would you be expected to take A-Ha seriously? They weren’t massive over there so you wouldn’t appreciate that they are class musicians. I’ve lived through the years with all of A-Ha’s albums like you’ve lived through the years of..say, The GoGo’s - they’re American right? I think you ‘guys’ have to work harder to find great music outside of your borders. If artists from the U.K. (or Norway) haven't broken you it must be tough?

Personally I was absolutely delighted when A-ha came back and released a new album with a tour to support it five years or so after their "farewell" tour. I certainly didn't feel ripped off due to attending a farewell tour only for the buggers to come back. I loved the fact they came back and I was able to enjoy new music by one of my favourite bands and go and watch them play live once more.
A-ha are serious musicians, songwriters and musicians - ergo I take them completely seriously.

Then it was reproduced due to demand.

It was 5 years later actually, they disbanded in 2010 and reformed in 2015. And they have had the same line up for 36 years Yeah, I stand corrected. It was five years. I’m not concentrating!!

Aha... ‘A-Ha!!’ A great live band with equally excellent PR. At least they don’t chase after rainbows. They’re in my all time top five artists ever. Want to know the other four? It’ll cost ya! 😉🤣 Hmmmmm...let me guess! In no particular order: - Aha -Duran Duran -TV Mania -Missing Persons -‘N lighten Up
