A-ha - Headlines and Deadlines: The Hits of A-ha
Album Notes
"Headlines and Deadlines: The Hits of A-ha" is a greatest hits album by Norwegian new wave band A-ha. This collection include the #1 U.S. smash "Take on Me", the U.S. top 20 hit "The Sun Always Shines on TV" and other jewels like "Cry Wolf", the icy "I've Been Losing You", the mildly operatic "Manhattan Skyline", the sunny "Touchy" and the better-than-the-original Everly Brothers' cover "Crying in the Rain", as well as remixes of a few tracks.
The new song "Move to Memphis" is featured on this album to promote the CD. "Move to Memphis" was later re-recorded for their fifth studio album "Memorial Beach".
The album was released by Warner Music Records worldwide (except in the US and Canada) in 1991 and reached number 12 in the UK Albums Chart.
Review
Pin ups of the late 1980s, A-Ha were a teen dream. Their style relied on the quality of their vocal harmonies backed by a wash of electro drums and perky synths. "Headlines and Deadlines" features their greatest hits, such as "Take On Me" and "The Sun Always Shines on TV" plus more. Near in spirit to supergroup Abba, A-Ha in their day appeared less manufactured than rivals Bros or any of the other generic boy bands, which is why their songs have remained timeless classics all these years later.--Herve Count (Amazon.co.uk)
