a-ha je nórska synth-popová trojica, ktorá patrila v 80. rokoch medzi najpopulárnejšie európske kapely. Ich tvorba spája new wave, pop rock a elektronickú hudbu.
Kompilácia Original Album Series vyšla v roku 2011 u vydavateľstva Warner Records a zhromažďuje 51 skladieb na piatich CD. Box obsahuje prvé tri štúdiové albumy skupiny – debutový Hunting High and Low (1985), ktorý priniesol celosvetové hity Take On Me a The Sun Always Shines on T.V., ďalej Scoundrel Days (1986) a Stay on These Roads (1988). Každý disk je vsadený do kartónového obalu pripomínajúceho pôvodné LP vydanie. Set ponúka prierez zlatou érou skupiny, ktorá vtedy zbierala nominácie na cenu Grammy.
Skupinu tvorí trojica Morten Harket (spev), Paul Waaktaar-Savoy (gitara) a Magne Furuholmen (klávesy).
