NOTE:

This book was written by Morten's brother, Håkon, and Henning Kramer Dahl, a friend of the band as a sort of "biography" of the band members from their childhood through the trials and tribulations of breaking through in the recording industry.This book has been out of print for over 10 years, but here are some excerpts from the book to give you some insight into the band. (The book can still sometimes be found in some Norwegian libraries)

This is by no means the whole book and if you do get the chance, do take a look it it! (for nothing else, for the pictures!)


Excerpt 1: "a-ha Pre-history (Magne and Pål)"
Excerpt 2: "a-ha Pre-history (Morten)"

Excerpt 5: "The infamous London apartment"
Excerpt 6: "Getting a record contract"
