In navolging van een episch jaar voor a-ha viert het Noorse trio de 25e verjaardag van hun vierde studioalbum ‘East of the Sun, West of the Moon’ met de heruitgave van een serie geremasterde en uitgebreide albums. Iedere heruitgave bevat het originele album met een extra disc met bonus materiaal, waaronder demo’s, alternatieve versies en live opnames. Ook worden er nieuwe liner notes toegevoegd, geschreven door de beroemde muziekjournalist Kieron Tyler.
De heruitgave van ‘East of the Sun, West of the Moon’ bevat ook een DVD getiteld ‘a-ha – Live in South America’. Dit concert kwam in 1993 voor het eerst uit, toen nog op VHS, het zal nu voor de eerste keer op DVD verschijnen. Met bijna 50 voorheen nog niet uitgebrachte tracks – waaronder ‘Umbrella,’ ‘I’ll Never Find You In This Streetful City,’ ‘Thus Ended Our Love Affair,’ en ‘Evitar’ op ‘Stay On These Roads’; ‘Trees Will Not Grow On Sand’ op ‘East Of The Sun, West Of The Moon’ en ‘Bar Room’ op ‘Memorial Beach’ – zijn de heruitgaves echt iets om naar uit te kijken.
