a-ha

Take on me - ultrarare 1st release 12" MAXI 1984

WEA Germany 19.10.1984, WEA-Nr. 920268-0 (W9146T)

20 Jahre alte Rarität: 

a-ha, TAKE ON ME, erste Veröffentlichung vom 19.10.84. Die Platte floppte damals und wurde europaweit nur 300 mal verkauft. Produziert wurde die Single von Tony Mansfield, gemixt von John Ratcliff zusammen mit A-ha. Die 12'' Single enthält als besonderes Extra noch den Song "Stop! And Make Your Mind Up", der später nie mehr veröffentlicht wurde und deshalb für Sammler einen unschätzbaren Wert hat. Auch ein Video wurde zu dieser Veröffentlichung gedreht (nicht das berühmte Cartoon-Video), allerdings nie öffentlich gezeigt. Die Platte und Cover sind in einem guten, aber gebrauchten Zustand VG+.

The 12"-record is identical to the 7"-release except for the additional information concerning the tracks "Take On Me" (long version) (3:44) and "Stop! And Make Your Mind Up" (2:57). Neither of these two tracks can be found anywhere else, a fact which explains the high collector value. While the former track was produced by Tony Mansfield and remixed by John Ratcliff, the latter was produced by a-ha with John Ratcliff. Even though the song was accompanied by a unique video (not the cartoon) a picture disc was never released.

Tracks:

Seite A - Take on me (Long version) (Rare First Release Difrent version)
Seite B - And you tell me 
              Stop! And make your mind up

--------------------------------------

COVER: VG++

VINYL: EX

NOT ONLY ONE OF THE MOST RAREST RECORDS EVER MADE, ALSO IN MY OPINION THE BEST "TAKE ON ME" VERSION.

---------------------------------------------------------

My gradings for vinyl:
M = Mint (new/unplayed)
NM = Near Mint (like new)
EX = Excellent (used but still in great condition)
VG = Very Good (record have been played several times, and might have some surface-marks)
