Analogue 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition

Posted by Jakob S on February 4th, 2026

A much requested reissue, finally coming in 2026

Rhino and Record Store Day has announced that a 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of a-ha’s eighth studio album Analogue (2005) will be released on both CD and vinyl this year:

“To celebrate its 20th anniversary, a deluxe 2-CD edition will be released featuring 21 bonus tracks – 15 of which are previously unreleased – including b-sides, remixes, demos, and alternate versions. Includes the hit singles, “Celice”, “Analogue (All I Want)” and “Cosy Prisons”. It charted internationally, hitting #1 in Norway and top 30 in several other countries. The album was produced by a-ha and Martin Terefe, mixed by Flood, and features backing vocals from Graham Nash. The audio has been remastered by Bill Inglot, and this release marks the album’s first appearance on vinyl.”

According to the RSD website, 2500 copies of the vinyl will be available on Record Store Day, 18 April 2026.

It does not specify if the 2CD edition will also be available on the same date, and which bonus tracks are included.

Coming on vinyl: MEMS 25th Anniversary Edition and TOM 40th Anniversary EP

Posted by Jakob S on October 18th, 2025

The new edition comes on silver vinyl

Minor Earth | Major Sky (2000) is set to be reissued on 2LP vinyl as a 25th Anniversary Edition on December 12th, by Warner Music Germany.

The only difference from the previous 2019 2LP vinyl release of the same album (which is still readily available) seems to be the addition of four live tracks from Vallhall in 2001; “Minor Earth | Major Sky”, “The Sun Never Shone That Day”, “Velvet”, “Summer Moved On” and silver-coloured vinyl instead of black.

With the added live versions there will be more tracks spread across the two 180g LPs; 9 tracks on LP1 (6 on the 2019 version) and 8 tracks on LP2 (7 on the 2019 version).

The 25th Anniversary Edition can be pre-ordered from Amazon UK and Amazon Germany (paid links).

RSD EP on Ruby Red vinyl.

There will also be a 40th Anniversary Edition EP of “Take On Me” released by Rhino as part of the Record Store Day 2025 Black Friday event on November 28th.

It seems only 3000 copies will be available worldwide, pressed on Ruby Red 12″ vinyl. The EP is available only in participating record stores on November 28th and then online on November 29th.

Here is the tracklist:

A1. Take On Me (40th Anniversary Extended Version)
A2. Take On Me (1984 Single Version)
A3. Take On Me (1985 Single Version)
A4. Take On Me (1985 Instrumental Version)
B1. Take On Me (2018 Symphonic Version)
B2. Take On Me (2017 Acoustic)
B3. Take On Me (2017 MTV Unplugged)
B4. Take On Me (1991 Live In South America)

Hunting High and Low – The Demos to be released on Record Store Day

Posted by Jakob S on February 6th, 2025

The release comes on Crystal Clear Vinyl.

Record Store Day 2025 is coming up on April 12th. This year Rhino/Warner Music will release Hunting High and Low – The Demos as a limited edition (7,250 worldwide units) on Crystal Clear Vinyl.

This is a follow-up to Hunting High and Low – The Early Alternate Mixes, which was released for Record Store Day in 2019.

Just like the Early Alternate Mixes vinyl, the demos on this release are most probably tracks that have already been released numerous times before, as part of the HHAL 30th Anniversary Deluxe CD Box Set (2015), the HHAL Expanded Edition CD Set (2019) and the HHAL Super Deluxe Vinyl Box Set (2023).

Tracklist:
1. Take On Me (Demo)
2. Train of Thought (Demo)
3. Hunting High and Low (Demo)
4. The Blue Sky (Demo)
5. Living a Boy’s Adventure Tale (Early Version)
6. The Sun Always Shines on T.V. (Demo)
7. And You Tell Me (Demo)
8. Love Is Reason (Demo)
9. I Dream Myself Alive (Demo)
10. Here I Stand and Face the Rain (Demo)

Previous a-ha releases for Record Store Day also include Take On Me (30th Anniversary Picture Disc) on 7″ vinyl in 2015 and a-ha hits South America on 12″ vinyl in 2016.
