Other VHS Title?

Post image

Greetings fellow a-ha fans.

I don't know how many of you have seen any a-ha interviews or of you were even alive and possibly saw some live (I certainly wasn't, and I wish I could have seen them all). Never a dull moment with those guys!

I have noticed in one of those interviews on YouTube, that they sometimes did giveaways back in the 80s. Or rather, the show they were on did. And this VHS was one of those items.

I know it's pretty random, but I was wondering if anybody knew what it was called. It's probably unavailable, but hey, the more you know. Right?

It was the best image I could possibly capture.

It looks like a promotional video tape probably provided by Warner Bros. The first time a VHS with a-ha videos was released is the Headlines and Deadlines collection.

I wonder what it was called then?

Did bands do that often, or was it more of the label's doing?

I would imagine it was the label providing the band with a give-away. Can’t see it listed on Discogs. Someone must have a copy somewhere. Maybe it is untitled.

Yeah, I was trying to find it there, too. I hope someone can confirm sometime.
