The sun always shines on TV - A-ha

Released as the second single from their debut album 'Hunting high and low', 'The sun always shines on TV' was a powerful pop/rock track, starting out as a ballad. While the previous single 'Take on me' was a number one hit in America and many other countries, this single failed to match that success. Only in the UK and Ireland, where 'Take on me' had peaked at number 2, this single managed to top the chart in early 1986.

The single version of 'The sun always shines on TV' is 30 seconds shorter than the album version and has never been released on cd. The B-side has only ever been released on cd in Japan.

My collection: 7" single no. 393
Found: Free Record Shop, Den Haag, 1986
Cost: 6 guilders
Tracks: 'The sun always shines on TV' / 'Driftwood'

    The single version appeared on a compilation CD in the UK. If you want an mp3 of it then let me know.
