a-ha’s sophomore effort sold over five million copies worldwide and is a prominant favorite of their fans. The album is also a favorite of Morten Harket’s: Scoundrel Days is the record that most closely resembles our demos. It’s simply an extension of the demos. It didn’t sell anywhere near as much as Hunting High and Low. It demands more from the listener. That’s why it became a darling for many.”
