The back insert also features a beige track listing and other white text including the catalogue number "7599-26773-2 FRANCE WE 852". The CD itself is navy blue with titles and a-ha-logo in a golden beige. Note that there is no silver rim to the disc as with some of the other issues. There were various different pressings of this album and available in parts of Europe (some of which were also available in the UK), see "European" releases below for details.

The German made cassette has cover similar to the LP and CD. The sleeve fold out. One side has a black background with seven black and white band shots and white text. The other side also has a black background but there are ten group shots plus text in blue, white and beige. The spine of the sleeve is black with blue, white and beige text. The actual cassette is transparent / grey with white titles.

There was a "Tape Tape" promo cassette produced for "Headlines And Deadline". It comes in a white paper sleeve with the tracks printed in typewriter-face on the front. It is labelled as "The Best of a-ha". Two tracks are missing compared to the regular release "Early Morning" and "Train Of Thought (Remix)". The cassette itself is a regular audio cassette with typed on sticker along the top.

In December 2002, "Headlines And Deadlines" was re-released in the UK. It has the same catalogue number as previous, but comes in a special brown coloured card slip case featuring a recent band shot (Paul, Morten, Magne).

Variations

Argentina

The first Argentine CD release of Headlines and Deadlines comes with a navy disc with beige text, it is similar to the European release. The booklet is also the same as the EU release. There is a silver "FLAPF" hologram sticker on the front of the CD case. On the back cover the layout and design is again very similar to the European release but it additionally displays the "WARNER MUSIC ARGENTINA" logo at the top underneath the barcode. At the bottom left hand corner of the back cover and on the actual disc itself, we have some different Manufacturing and Copyright information which is printed in Spanish, it reads "(P) & (C) 1991 WEA International Inc. Publicado y distribuido por Warner Music Argentina. Prohibida la reproduccion, locacion y prestamo de este ejemplar y su radiodifusion o ejecucion publica.

The second Argentine CD release of "Headlines and Deadlines" comes instead with a black disc with grey text rather than the usual blue one with beige text. The front and back cover is exactly the same as the first pressing. The same booklet is also included. There is a "ifpi" silver hologram sticker on the front of the CD case.

The Argentine cassette release of "Headlines and Deadlines" comes with "LO MEJOR" printed in white at the beginning of the title on the front cover, the remainder of the text inside of the folded insert is displayed all in Spanish. The track listing on the back sleeve has been printed in yellow instead of the usual beige. The first pressing was made by "EMSSA" and comes without a white barcode on the back sleeve. The Catalogue number on the front cover, spine and tape is 4-26773. The "Warner Brothers Records" and "Warner Music Argentina" logos are also displayed on the front cover. There is some Spanish Copyright and "DOLBY-NR" information on the inside of the folded insert on side 2 above the artworks for the "Move to Memphis" single, it reads "Prohibida la reproduccion, locacion y prestamo de este ejemplar y su radiodifusion o ejecucion publica.

The second pressing comes without the Catalogue number and "Warner Brothers Records/Warner Music Argentina" logos on the front cover, it was also made by "EMSSA" and includes a white barcode on the back sleeve. On the spine the Catalogue number has been changed and now shows the full European Catalogue number 7599-26773-4, the "Warner Music Argentina" logo has also been printed much smaller compared to the first pressing and the "DOLBY-NR" logo has been omitted. On the inside of the folded insert on side 2 above the artworks for the "Move to Memphis" single, the exact same Spanish Copyright and "DOLBY-NR" information is shown but has been displayed differently compared to the first pressing. Also on side 2 again underneath the track listing and credits, it displays "WARNER MUSIC ARGENTINA" but the logo is smaller, it also shows some different text "A WARNER MUSIC GROUP COMPANY" and "DISCO ES CULTURA" which didn't appear on the first pressing. The tape is white with brown printed text, the layout and design is exactly the same as the earlier transparent clear tape including using the same original Catalogue number 4-26773.

Australia

The Australia CD release of "Headlines and Deadlines" has the same catalogue number as the regular European release but it is printed in one long number as 7599267732, without any dashes. The bar code number on the Australian Release is 9 325583 038839, different from the catalogue number. The back cover states that the album was "MANUFACTURED AND DISTRIBUTED BY WARNER MUSIC AUSTRALIA" and displays the "WWW.WARNERMUSIC.COM.AU" Website address. The CD itself is silver with black text, rather than blue.

The Australian cassette was "Manufactured & distributed by Warner Music Australia Pty Limited", it comes with an extended folded insert to include a much larger back cover.

The Brazilian CD 1st pressing of Headlines and Deadlines was Manufactured by "Videolar" and Distributed by "Warner Music Brasil Ltda", it is similar to the European release except for the text in the right hand corner of the front sleeve and on the back sleeve is printed in white rather than in three colours. Also, all of the internal booklet text is also printed in white. Displayed at the top right hand corner of the CD case is a silver "ifpi" hologram sticker. The actual disc is dark blue with a large yellow a-ha logo at the top. The remainder of the text is printed in silver. On the right hand side, we have the track listing displayed in a similar way to the European release. On the left hand side, there is some Brazilian Manufacturing information which reads "WARNER MUSIC BRASIL LTDA. TODOS OS DIREITOS RESERVADOS PROIBIDA A EXECUCAO PUBLICA.

There is a third "Videolar" made CD release which is very similar to the previous two releases and again comes with the usual silver "ifpi" hologram sticker on the front of the CD case. The Manufacturing and Distributing information on the back cover has again been amended and is different which reads "Warner Music Ltda., uma empresa Warner Music Group.

Chile

The Chilean CD album comes with a different font to both the a-ha logo and title "HEADLINES AND DEADLINES THE HITS OF A-HA" on the front cover and disc, some of the text printed inside the CD booklet has also been printed larger compared to the European release.

There is another issue of this European CD album which again comes with the same front and back cover artworks, it also uses the same Catalogue number on the back cover 7599-26773-2 FRANCE WE 852 as the first release. The usual CD booklet is also included. The disc is again navy with beige text but now includes an outer silver ring to it which doesn't appear on the first issue. The Matrix coding around the centre ring is also slightly different to read 7599267773-2.2 WME.

There is a third issue of the European CD album which uses the same 7599-26773-2 FRANCE WE 852 Catalogue number on the back cover, again the front and back cover is identical to the earlier issues and the same CD booklet is also included. The design of the disc used is the same as the first issue and doesn't include the outer silver rim on the edge of the disc which appeared on the second issue, but the Matrix coding has again been changed to now read 759926773-2.3 WME.

In June 99, there was a another European CD album re-issue of "Headlines And Deadlines" which was again "Manufactured in Germany by Warner Music Manufacturing Europe", it comes with the same usual front and back cover artworks to the early 7599-26773-2 FRANCE 852 pressings, but now includes a different Catalogue number 7599-26773-2 WE 835 on the back cover, the FRANCE part of the Catalogue number has now been omitted.

The layout of the title at the bottom right-hand corner is smaller and shows the a-ha logo in cream (rather than beige), with "HEADLINES & DEADLINES" in dark blue (rather than light blue) and "THE HITS OF A-HA" in the usual white. All four variations of the cassette include a fold-out sleeve.

The first issue comes with a blue spine with white printed text. The title "HEADLINES AND DEADLINES THE HITS OF A-HA" is shown landscaped in the centre with a-ha being displayed to the left and printed in Korean. The "WB" logo is additionally shown oriented at the bottom. The back sleeve comes without a barcode and displays the full track listing including track lengths down the left-hand side for side A and down the right-hand side for side B. There is some distributing, manufacturing and copyright information included underneath along the bottom; "Distributed by WARNER MUSIC KOREA Ltd. A Warner Music Group Company. Manufactured by HWA EUM Records Co. Ltd. Registration No. 275 to the Ministry of Culture & Sports. Made in Korea. (‘95. 10. 4) 9302-L7036-L7051 (D) 93-669 (’93. 3.10) Warning: All Rights Reserved. Unauthorized Duplication is a Violation of Applicable Laws". The standard European Catalogue number 7599-26773-4 is also shown. The tape itself is off white and comes with a light grey stickered label and blue printed text. Along the top is "A-HA" with the track listing shown underneath to each side. On the left hand side is the "WARNER MUSIC KOREA" logo with Side "A/B" on the right. Displayed along the bottom of each side is some Manufacturing Information; "MANUFACTURED BY HWA EUM RECORDS LTD".

There is another edition of the cassette which again comes without a barcode and is very similar to the earlier first issue. The colouring of the title on the spine has been changed and is now printed and displayed in pink instead of the previous white. The tape is also virtually the same as the earlier issue with the light grey and blue stickered label showing the exact same layout and design, but is now coloured plain white rather than off-white. An additional "Warner Music" silver logo has also been added on the clear centre part, in-between both cogs to each side.

There is a third pressing of the Korean cassette which is similar to the second edition containing the same coloured pink text used on the spine, but the release now additionally includes a white barcode on the back sleeve. The track listing including track lengths, comes with a slightly different layout and font size compared to both the earlier releases, Side "A" is listed on the left-hand side of the barcode, with Side "B" on the right-hand side. The distributing and manufacturing information is now displayed all in Korean, unlike the earlier editions which was all shown in English, both the Catalogue number and copyright information have been omitted from the back sleeve. The tape itself is the same as the second edition coming with a plain white tape, with the light grey stickered label and blue printed text. The silver "Warner Music" logo in-between both cogs is again included.

There is a fourth pressing of the cassette, which differs somewhat compared to all the earlier editions coming with a double spine and an extended fold-out insert to wrap around the whole of the cassette case. Each spine is now plain white with the titles printed in pink. The left-hand spine contains the English title "a-ha HEADLINES AND DEADLINES THE HITS OF A-HA" in the same layout and design as the front sleeve, but displayed landscaped rather than orientated, whilst the right-hand spine instead shows the pink title translated into Korean. Both spines include a black "WB" logo at the top, with the "WARNER MUSIC KOREA" logo and Catalogue number WC-123 (again in black) at the bottom. The smaller inside back sleeve is dark blue with white text containing the European Catalogue number 7599-26773-4 in the top right-hand corner and some manufacturing and copyright information included in the centre (rather than the track listing). Some of the wording contains some spelling mistakes; "Warning: All rights reserved. Unauthorized duplication is a violation of applicable laws. Manupactured in korea under license from warner Musicl. No licence is grantd or is to be implied by the supply of this cassette or container. there of under or in relation to any trademark or copyright of or owned by warner music any where in the world outside". On the larger right-hand side part of the folded out insert which covers the back of the cassette case, it is also coloured the dark blue with the white printed text. The full track listing is included in both English (printed in white) and Korean (printed in yellow) with additional track numbers and track lengths.

The inside of the folded insert does not include any other information and it is completely blank, but there is instead an additional folded single-sided grey and white paper sheet displaying the title "Headlines & Deadlines – The Hits Of A-Ha" in both Korean and English along the top on a grey strip. There is also some further Korean text regarding the history of a-ha and referring to their single and album releases, plus a landscaped artwork scene shot of the three band members taken from the album "East Of The Sun, West Of The Moon" along the bottom. The tape itself is the same as the first edition coming with a plain white tape with the light grey stickered label and blue printed text. The silver "Warner Music" logo in-between both cogs is however not included.
