A-ha

a-ha: The Swing of Things 1985-2010 is the definitive book about Norway’s greatest pop band. For this edition, Jan Omdahl, who has followed a-ha for many years, has updated the text of his classic band biography The Swing of Things. The book also contains an abundance of unique visual materials, many of them previously unpublished: record covers, PR material, and assorted items collected over the course of the band’s career; the band members’ personal photos, sketches, and notes; and several series of classic pictures taken by the photographers who have followed a-ha most closely over the past 25 years – among them Just Loomis, who took the pictures for the three of the first five albums. This book amounts to a unique documentation of a-ha’s history – and of all the strange and magical machinery that makes up a pop band’s biography.
