SIDE ONE

SIDE TWO


"Stay On These Roads" continued to enthral me with the band's sounds, after HUNTING HIGH AND LOW and SCOUNDREL DAYS, but I subsequently fell off the A-ha Sonic Train for a few years, before linking up with their soundscape years later, with 2005's "Analogue", then back tracking to earlier albums ... but that's another tale for another time.



(Above opening title sequence edit) "The Living Daylights" by A-ha was used for the 1987 James Bond film titled "The Living Daylights", starring Timothy Dalton!
