Howzabout an mp3 of that song of their original band which eventually metamorphosed (?) into "take on me"? Anybody?

This topic needs a well deserved bump.

Hows about that obscure Bridges material?

Eh?
Does somebody need some persuasion?
Do I need to give somebody a foot massage?
Or some randomass italo clip?

Or freedom from my liquor-fueled posting?

OK, here's a sample of the Bridges stuff I have. It is all really quite atrocious, not only in audio quality, but in song quality. This is the best tune of the ones I have and the only one which can be called a-ha related as some of it found its way into the later a-ha tune "This Alone is Love" from the Stay On These Roads album.

Thanks for the track! Now, does anyone out there have the vinyl version of This Alone is Love that appeared on the 12" of I've Been Losing You?

Thanks for the track Berserker. But I'd still want to hear the early version of Take on Me, of which the demo landed them the record deal with... Warner?
