The Swing of Things 1985-2010

Norwegian author Jan Omdahl has updated his 2004 a-ha biography, The Swing of Things, and the new edition will be released in Norway on August 21. The book will be available in bookstores across Norway and at Ullevaal stadium in Oslo, where a-ha opens their stadium tour next weekend. There will be news about the English edition here on a-ha.com very soon.

Last week, via Twitter, Jan Omdahl shared the cover design of the Norwegian edition:

    Hello from Tokyo! Thank you for the great news! I can’t wait to read the English edition! Since they already had their last concert in Japan, so many fans are looking forward to the album “25″ and I’m sure they want to get this book, too.

    I’ve got it a couple days ago and I am just so touched…! It is a real history of a-ha and I must treasure this precious book forever. Well, I’m Japanese and I guess it’ll take a lot of time to finish reading, but I’m looking forward to reading it little by little every day…
    a-ha will stay in my heart forever.
    Thank you for publishing such a beautiful book.

    (I dunno why but I couldn’t leave a comment on Summersonic page, so I’ll leave it here instead.)
    I went to Summersonic in Tokyo. It was my very first time to see them so close on stage. I will never forget that day. I felt like I was back in my youth…it was such a wonderful time!

    I was one of those who was holding a special towel(my friend made it) and a flag of Brazil there.

    :-)
