Scoundrel Days is the second full-length album by the new wave pop/rock band a-ha. It was released on 6 October 1986 through Warner Bros. Records. Released in the midst of the 1986 world tour, songs from Scoundrel Days infused a-ha’s live setlist with a new, darker sound. A departure from the pure pop of Hunting High and Low, this album contains several mainstays of a-ha’s catalogue, I’ve Been Losing You, Cry Wolf and Manhattan Skyline. a-ha’s sophomore effort sold over five million copies worldwide and is a prominant favorite of their fans. The album is also a favorite of Morten Harket’s: Scoundrel Days is the record that most closely resembles our demos. It’s simply an extension of the demos. It didn’t sell anywhere near as much as Hunting High and Low. It demands more from the listener. That’s why it became a darling for many.” A deluxe/expanded edition with additional tracks was released in 2010.
