Variations

Japan

Making of Gatsby - cm a-ha (1988)

This promotional only video includes the making of the Japanese adverts for new make-up products "Gatsby" (Mandom Corporation) which feature a-ha (running time: approx. 20 minutes). The adverts were made in the 109 Studios, Shibuya, Tokyo and the money from which went to "Worldview International Foundation". On the front sleeve is a band shot (Morten, Mags with Pål behind) dressed in white. The video comes in a side opening card box which fastens shut. The title 'Making of Gatsby - cm "a-ha"' is printed in dark grey letters down the left handside of the front sleeve over a pale pink background. "Madom - that aura of smartness" is printed in small letters in the top right hand corner with "NOT FOR SALE" printed in the bottom right hand corner.

The back sleeve features a shot of the band on set, bordered by a segment of film strip (shot 28A). Underneath, the following message is printed "Dear GATSBY Fans GATSBY applauds the spirit of a-ha. Not just their phenomenal sound, but the complete concept of their lifestyles. We take greatest pleasure in presenting to you Making of GATSBY - CM "a-ha". GATSBY with a-ha -- the spirited combination." The video tape is black with a light pink sticker. The title plus "Stay On These Roads" and "The Blood That Moves The Body" are printed in black text on the sticker. Additional information is printed in black at the bottom. The sticker on the spine of the tape is also light pink with the title in black letters.

Headlines And Deadlines - The Hits Of a-ha (1991)

This compilation of promotional videos has sleeve design is similar to that of the album "Headlines And Deadlines" with a band shot (Morten, Magne, Pål) on a petrol blue background. The a-ha logo and title "Headlines And Deadlines The Hits of a-ha" are printed in beige, light blue and white in the lower right hand corner. The back sleeve is black with a band shot at the bottom plus track listing and track details in white, light blue and beige. The reverse of the insert is white with picture adverts for other Warner releases. The cassette tape is black with a white sticker and black text.

The VHS includes promotional videos for the following 16 tracks:

1. Take On Me
2. Cry Wolf
3. Touchy
4. You Are The One (Remix)
5. Manhattan Skyine
6. The Blood That Moves The Body
7. There's Never A Forever Thing
8. Early Morning
9. Hunting High And Low
10. I've Been Losing You*
11. Crying In The Rain
12. I Call Your Name
13. Stay On These Roads
14. Sycamore Leaves*
15. Train Of Thought
16. The Sun Always Shines On TV

All tracks are the regular videos used to promote the singles except * which are live recordings from the NRK TV special (1991) and "There's Never A Forever Thing" which is a film of the homeless directed by Lauren Savoy. Note, there was a promotional video made for "I've Been Losing You" (live footage taken from a 1986 US concert), but the live NRK TV version was included in place of this video. Note also the absence of videos for "The Living Daylights" and "Move To Memphis". These two tracks are included on the CD compilation, but have been replaced by "There's Never A Forever Thing" and "Sycamore Leaves" on the video compilation.

There was a second pressing of the VHS which is printed in a lighter blue than the first pressing. The font size on the second pressing is also slightly larger and the "VHS HI-FI Stereo DOLBY STEREO" white label on the side is narrower. The reverse of the insert is light blue with picture adverts for other Warner releases, some of which differ from those on the first pressing. The white bar code label on the side of the actual video cassette is also missing.

The German made laserdisc (PAL system) of "Headlines And Deadlines The Hits Of A-ha" has a similar front and back cover to the video. The text on the front beneath the main text states: Laserdisc Digital Sound Stereo.

There is also a German made DVD of "Headlines And Deadlines" which again has a similar sleeve to the video release. The disc is silver with grey text. First editions come in the hard plastic transparent cases, but later pressings came in the softer plastic cases. The printing colours differ slightly. The DVD includes the extra track, the promotional video for "Move To Memphis" (track 18).

There is a German made NTSC edition of the DVD suitable for regions 3, 4 and 6. The cover is similar to the PAL release but the blue background appears to have a more textured look to it (TBC). The disc is also similar to the PAL release, but the text has been printed in a bolder font and there is no "Exempt from classification" text.

To coincide with the release of the singles collection 1984-2004, "Headlines And Deadlines" was re-released with a different sleeve (early in 2005?). The content of the DVD is exactly the same as the original DVD release, but the sleeve is quite different. The top section of the sleeve is almost identical to the cover of "The Singles 1984|2004" / "The definitive singles collection 1984-2004". The bottom section of the sleeve uses some of the artwork taken from the album booklet. There is a black strip along the bottom with a white "G" indicating that the content is suitable for general viewing. The DVD claims that it is suitable for regions 2 to 5 rather than 2 to 6 like the first version.

Two slightly different versions exist, both come with identical sleeves, but one of the discs is the regular silver DVD with black text, identical to the first release, the other is bronze coloured (this disc is copy protected - TBC). The bronze disc has the newer a-ha logo in light blue at the top with the title in gold underneath. The Warner, DVD and region logos are printed in white at the bottom of the disc and copyright information is printed in white around the edge of the disc. The "bronze-edition" was available as part of the Homecoming / Headlines And Deadlines two DVD set (see below) and was possibly also available separately (TBC).

On the left hand side, a large "WARNER MUSIC VISION" logo is shown, along with the text; "DOLBY HI-FI STEREO VHS SECAM DUREE 60 MINUTES CNC / EDV 110". At the bottom right, the Catalogue number 7599-38356-3 and "© 1993 WEA INTERNATIONAL INC A TIME WARNER COMPANY" is additionally displayed.

Japan

"Live in South America" was also released onto VHS in Japan, it comes instead in a white cassette case rather than the standard clear one. The running format is not shown but appears to be NTSC. The artwork on it is similar to the European release but the layout on the spine is different and displays a-ha orientated rather than landscape with the title printed in Japanese. The picture of Morten holding the microphone has been cropped to show only the top half and is relocated near the top under the black "WARNER MUSIC VISION" logo. At the lower half of the spine, there is a brown oval with some additional Japanese white printed text. The "WB" logo, VHS, Catalogue number WPVP-9106 and two price tags ¥5,500 and ¥5,340 are displayed in black at the very bottom. On the back cover, the "WARNER MUSIC VISION" logo is slighter larger and lighter, plus the white barcode is somewhat smaller and displays a different number "4 988014 591065" compared to the European release. Along the bottom under the regular Copyright information, it displays that the VHS was "Marketed by Warner Music Japan Inc. a Time Warner Company. Made in Japan". The usual Green "UNIVERSAL Suitable for all" triangular logo has not been included on this Japanese release. The Cassette tape itself is black and tan with light brownish stickered top and side labels. The top label is very similar to the European release having the title "a-ha live IN SOUTH AMERICA" with the full track listing printed in white underneath. The regular black and white "WARNER MUSIC VISION" is also included, along with a black "WB" logo and "E EXEMPT FROM CLASSIFICATION". The Catalogue number WPVP-9106, VHS hi-fi and STEREO are shown in white. The same Copyright and Japanese Marketing information which is displayed on the back cover is also included. On the side label, there is a black "WB" logo at the top, with a-ha and the Japanese title printed orientated in white. The VHS and "WARNER MUSIC VISION" logos and Catalogue number are displayed in black at the bottom. The Video also includes an additional white folded sheet displaying the full track lyrics in both English and Japanese.

There are at least 2 slightly different Japanese laserdiscs (NTSC system) of "Live In South America". They have a similar cover to the VHS video release, but have different catalogue numbers. One of these laser discs comes with a green obi-strip with white titles and small shots of other discs available on the back.

Korea

The Korean VHS of "Live In South America" comes in a slightly larger than normal white video cassette case with the regular front and back cover artwork similar to the European edition, but cropped to include some additional Korean titles on the front cover and spine. There is a green strip, which is included all the way along the bottom, with some additional Korean text shown. The blue and white "WARNER MUSIC VISION" logo is located on the front, back & spine of the case along with an additional "WARNER REPRISE VIDEO" symbol on the back and spine only. Some Korean Manufacturing and Copyright information is displayed on the back cover to include the text; "© 1993 WEA International Inc., A Time Warner Company COPYRIGHT © 1993 SEOUL TELECOM SYSTEM CO. LTD"

The spine itself differs from the European one with a smaller version of part of the Morten shot with a pink outline and is located higher up on the spine. The layout of the a-ha logo and title has changed to both read down the spine with a light grey strip behind. The blue "WARNER MUSIC VISIONO" logo present is much larger compared to that shown on the front and back sleeve, plus a black "Hi-Fi STEREO" symbol is also included. The cassette tape itself is coloured bright yellow and green with white stickered labels on the front and side with titles in red, green and blue text. The blue "WARNER MUSIC VISION" logo is included in the top left hand corner of the top label with the "WARNER REPRISE VIDEO" symbol in the top right. The a-ha logo is printed in red and located in the centre showing the title "LIVE IN SOUTH AMERICA" in green and Korean translation in blue underneath. A green stripe similar to that shown on the casing is included along the bottom with some other additional Korean text printed in blue. On the side label, the "WARNER MUSIC VISION" logo is displayed orientated again in the usual blue on the left hand side, with the a-ha red logo and Green and blue English/Korean title landscaped in the middle. The blue "Hi-Fi STEREO" and "WARNER MUSIC VIDEO" symbols are included orientated on the right, along with a white "VHS" symbol on a green background. When playing the video, there is some additional Korean information displayed before the show starts.

This live release features the full show (excluding the final encore "Angel") taken from a-ha's performance at Vallhall, Oslo, Norway on 24th March 2001. The first versions of the DVD and VHS were available as a "limited edition" exclusively through www.a-ha.com and don't have a catalogue number. The DVD release features around an hour and half of bonus material including a documentary on what the band members have been up to individually since the release of their previous album, interview, backstage feature on a-ha, after fan party footage, band facts, 4 promo videos (Summer Moved On, Minor Earth Major Sky, Velvet (kissing version), I Wish I Cared [previously only available through a-ha.com]) plus additional live footage from Grimstad 19th May 2001 (Early Morning and Summer Moved On). The bonus material on the video is only the 4 promotional videos plus the live footage from Grimstad.

The cover of the limited edition DVD and VHS is light blue, pink and orange with a faded shot of Morten and backing band at the top. The title "a-ha live at vallhall homecoming" is printed in white across the middle. The DVD has "limited edition" printed on a lime green circular background in the bottom right hand corner. The back sleeve is also light blue, pink and orange with a faded live shot. Text in white about a-ha's comeback in 2000 has been printed over part of the orange background with text about the concerts in Oslo on 24 and 25 March 2001 printed in black over part of the blue background.

The back sleeve of the DVD states that it is "all regions" although NTSC versions are also available which have an NTSC sticker on the back.

Text printed on the reverse of the DVD / Video:

"The year 2000 marked the triumphant return of a-ha to the international scene. After a seven-year break, the band reformed and released the CD "Minor Earth Major Sky" to widespread critical acclaim, and scored a European hit with the single "Summer Moved On".

Having completed a successful tour of Japan and Europe, a-ha returned to their native Norway on the 24th and 25th of March 2001, for two two sell-out shows at Oslo's new football arena; Vallhall. This DVD is a recording of the first night.

This DVD contains lots of extra material, including documentation of their seven years apart, interviews, unreleased live footage, and 4 videos from "Minor Earth Major Sky""

Note: There is a spelling mistake on the a-ha.com release: documentation is printed incorrectly as "documentatition".

The DVD and video were also released to record stores across the world (Norway - 20/05/02, Japan - 20/05/02, Europe 27/05/02, UK - 10/06/02, Australia - 15/07/02, Canada - 15/10/02, plus USA and Brazil around the same time as in Canada). These releases do not come with the exclusive bonus CD, but include the same bonus material. The front covers are similar to the version released via the internet, but the "limited edition"-circle on the DVD is replaced by the DVD trademark. There is also a blue rectangular sticker on the front with the text "Features all of their greatest hits including: 'Cry Wolf' 'The Sun Always Shines On TV' 'The Living Daylights' and 'Take On Me'" plus catalogue number in white. The video edition has an additional white round sticker with the text "ALSO AVAILABLE ON DVD VIDO".

The back covers are quite different and include the track listing in two columns at the top of the sleeve. The text about the return in 2000 and concerts in 2001 is the same, but is printed right across the back sleeve. The DVD includes some format and running time information printed on black rectangular strips. There is also additional "Warner Music Vision", format, "Exempt from classification" and copyright text on both the DVD and video sleeve. The DVD disc also differs slightly from the a-ha.com version with less of a silver border around the edge plus additional PAL, DVD, Warner Music Vision and "Exempt from classification" logos, catalogue number, running time and copyright information in white. The DVD comes with the 4-page booklet with the same live shots, but slightly different text. The reverse of the video insert is of same design as the front side, but without any of the text. It doesn't come with any other booklet insert. The cassette itself is black with a bright pink sticker with titles in white.

Variations

Japan

France: The French VHS is similar to the European release but the information on the back cover is in French rather than English and it's in SECAM format.

The Japanese release has the same front sleeve as the European release, but on the front is a green sticker with a-ha and some Japanese text printed in white.

There is also a promo DVD of "Vallhall" which comes in a jewel case. The cover is light brown with Japanese text in black. The date "2002/5/22" printed top right and "Promotion Only Not For Sale" is printed at the bottom. The disc is plain with the title, catalogue number and "Not For Sale" printed in white on an orange rectangle at the bottom of the disc. The DVD comes with a negative strip which features the "Hoemcoming" sleeve.

South Africa

The South African release was manufactured in Europe, but distributed in South Africa by Gallo.

Ukraine

"Live at Vallhall - Homecoming" was available on video in the Ukraine. It comes in a paper slide-in-box with unique artwork. The front cover features yellow-orange and white shots of the band as background image with a colour photo of Morten in the foreground. The title is printed in black on a gold background at the top of the sleeve. The spine and back cover feature more of the yellow-orange and white background images. The title is printed in red on the spine with Bon-video logo, Hi-Fi Stereo and VHS logos underneath. The back cover has the title and track listing printed in red text down the sleeve. The Bon-video logo is printed at the bottom. It is thought that this release is unofficial since there is no catalogue number.

a-ha The Videos DVD (03/2003)

This limited edition DVD of a-ha videos was given away by the Spanish record store "FNAC" with purchases of the live double album of How Can I Sleep With Your Voice In My Head. The DVD comes in a 5" card sleeve with a brown and white band shot on the front (Paul, Magne, Morten) and track listing on reverse. The title "a-ha The Videos" is printed in white on the front and reverse of the sleeve. The disc features the cover shot of the band, but in black and white. The title is printed in white letters on the top right hand side of the disc. The DVD features 13 promotional videos (mastered as only 1 track on the DVD) including the original video for "I've Been Losing You" (printed incorrectly as "I've been loosing you"), the live video of "The Sun Always Shines On TV", the slightly different version of Crying In The Rain (compared to that on Headlines And Deadlines) plus "Forever Not Yours", "Lifelines", "Did Anyone Apprach You?" and "The Living Daylights" which have not been previously released on Headlines And Deadlines or Live at Vallhall. The total running time is 55 minutes.

Tracks: Forever Not Yours / Minor Earth Major Sky / Manhattan Skyline / I've Been Loosing You / Crying In The Rain / The Sun Always Shines On TV (Live) / Did Anyone Approach You? / Lifelines / Stay On These Roads / Hunting High And Low / Take On Me / The Living Daylights / Summer Moved On

There are some editing issues on the DVD with several of the videos having the wrong soundtrack, using the album versions cut to match, rather than the single versions (The Sun Always Shines On T.V., Summer Moved On, Velvet, Forever Not Yours, Lifelines, Celice, Foot Of The Mountain). Also the video for "The Sun Always Shines On TV" has an additional piece of American footage tagged on the end!

Along the top are a series of ten red dice all representing a roll of 5, the review score from a range of Norwegian TV and press. In the bottom right is the text and quote from the Norwegian newspaper "En gullbarre av en film" Dagbladet (a gold bar of a film).

The back cover is light grey with a smaller shot of the band from the 80s. The text reads:

"a-ha The Movie" følger Morten Harket, Pål Waaktaar-Savoy og Magne Furuholmen på turné, og foreteller samtidig historien om the tenåringer som drømte om å bli verdensberømte popstjerner.

Med unik tilgang på bandet i nåtid, samt bruk av ukjent arkivmateriale, forteller filmen hvordan tre svært ulike kreative personligheter har gitt oss stor musikk og internasjonal suksess. Men filmen viser også hvordan skyhøye musikalske ambisjoner har ført til konflikt og trøblete vennskap i flere itår. Kan de igjen skape musikk sammen?

Da "Take On Me" toppet Billboard-hitlista i 1985, gikk drømmen i oppfyllelse. De er fortsatt enormt populære, 35 år etter gjennombruddet, og er Norges største popsuksess gjennom tidene. "Take on me" passerte sommeren 2019 én milliard avspillinger på Youtube.

("a-ha The Movie" follows Morten Harket, Pål Waaktaar-Savoy and Magne Furuholmen on tour, and at the same time tells the story of the teenagers who dreamed of becoming world-famous pop stars. With unique access to the band in the present, as well as the use of unseen archive material, the film tells how three very different creative personalities have given us great music and international success. But the film also shows how sky-high musical ambitions have led to conflict and troubled friendships for several years. Can they create music together again? When "Take On Me" topped the Billboard charts in 1985, the dream came true. They are still enormously popular, 35 years after their breakthrough, and are Norway's biggest pop successes of all time. "Take on me" passed one billion views on YouTube in the summer of 2019.)

The inside of the insert is multi-coloured (red, orange, pink, blue and yellow) with 15 shots of the band members from across their career. The disc features the same black and white band shot as the front cover with the white a-ha logo and multi-coloured title at the bottom of the disc.
