The band has 10 albums and is one of the most successful Norwegian bands.
Lost Instrumental
Their most famous song, Take On Me was originally known to have four different versions before the song we all know today, all of the earlier versions have been released on either a single or box set excluding one (which remains partially found). However, there is a Norwegian documentary from 2005 which has a clip in it with this lost instrumental.
Availability
The only possibilities of this being found is either if the NRK station has the full demo in its archives, or if Viggo Bondi, the man responsible for their 2004 album, "The Demo Tapes" has a copy.[1]
