Limited Edition Hits E.P. - A-ha

When A-ha released 'Crying in the rain' in 1990, the record company decided that in order to sell more copies, they would make a limited edition hits e.p. Besides 'Crying in the rain', this e.p. also contains previous hits 'Take on me', 'Cry wolf' and 'Stay on these roads'. While these singles peaked at number 2, 5 and 5 in the UK respectively, 'Crying in the rain' didn't get any higher than number 13. It's interesting to know that this Hits e.p. was only released on vinyl and not as a cd-single, even if that format was getting increasingly popular in 1990.

My collection: 7" single no. 2742
Found: Record fair, Amsterdam, September 21, 1996
Cost: 5 guilders
Tracks: 'Crying in the rain', 'Take on me' / 'Cry wolf', 'Stay on these roads'
