'''''Scoundrel Days''''' is the second studio album by Norwegian band [[a-ha]], released on 6 October 1986 by [[Warner Bros. Records]]. A remastered edition with additional tracks was released in 2010.

==Production==
''Scoundrel Days'' was the second long-player release from ''a-ha'', which was highly anticipated after the success of their first album, ''[[Hunting High and Low]]'' (1985), which had reached #2 in the United Kingdom's Album Chart, and number 15 in the United States' [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] in the previous year. ''Scoundrel Days'' was recorded in England in early 1986 at [[RG Jones Recording Studios]] on Beulah Road in [[Wimbledon, London|Wimbledon]], South-West London. The record was produced by [[Alan Tarney]], who had produced the band's singles "[[Take On Me]]" and "[[The Sun Always Shines on T.V.]]" in the previous year, and it was engineered by Gerry Kitchingham.<ref name="auto">Cover sleeve production credits for ''Scoundrel Days'' (1986).</ref>

The songs were composed by [[Paul Waaktaar-Savoy|Pal Waaktaar]] and [[Magne Furuholmen]]; the band's vocalist [[Morten Harket]] did not contribute to the songwriting as he had on their first album. Waaktaar and Furuholmen also self-produced three of the record's tracks, "[[I've Been Losing You]]", "Maybe Maybe", and "Soft Rains of April".<ref name="auto"/>

[[Yamaha DX7]] and [[Roland Juno-60]]/[[Roland Juno-106|106]] synths were used in the recording of this album, the Roland Juno 60 was used on opening of the song "Manhattan Skyline" (which is the same synth used on the "Take On Me" riff) and the Yamaha DX7 drum sound was used on the opening of "October". "Scoundrel Days" and "Swing of Things" signature sounds were obtained from a [[PPG Wave]]. The drums and several other sound effects were from drawn from a [[Fairlight CMI]].{{citation needed|date=March 2019}}

==Single releases==
"[[I've Been Losing You]]" was the first single from the album. It reached number one in Norway and number eight in the United Kingdom. "I've Been Losing You" became the most commercially successful single from the album in Europe.

"[[Cry Wolf (A-ha song)|Cry Wolf]]" was the second single from the album. It was the most successful single from the album in the United States, where it peaked at number 14 on the [[Hot Dance Music/Club Play]] chart, and at number 50 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]]. It was the band's last entry on the latter chart. The single reached the top 40 nearly everywhere else it was released, including top-five chartings in the United Kingdom, Poland and Ireland, reaching number two in Norway. (The lyrics "Night I left the city I dreamt of a Wolf..." are credited to Lauren Savoy whom [[Paul Waaktaar-Savoy|Pål]] later married).

"Maybe, Maybe" was the third single released from the album, but was released solely in Bolivia.<ref>Discogs entry for 'Maybe Maybe' single release in Bolivia, 1986. https://www.discogs.com/a-ha-Maybe-Maybe/release/13062298</ref>

"[[Manhattan Skyline (song)|Manhattan Skyline]]" was the fourth and final single released from the long-player, reaching #13 on the United Kingdom's chart. The song was co-written by keyboardist [[Magne Furuholmen]] and guitarist [[Paul Waaktaar-Savoy]]. The song starts with a calm verse in [[F major]], before kicking into a hard rock-style chorus with a guitar riff in [[D minor]]. In the official A-ha biography, ''The Swing of Things'', Furuholmen said it was "perhaps one of the most inspired cut and paste-projects that Paul and I did. I wrote the quiet part. Paul wrote the rock part."<ref name="discography">{{cite web|url=http://forum.A-ha.com/thenewsite/disco.php/video-manhattan.html |title=A-ha.com: discography/videos/manhattan skyline |access-date=2 April 2006 |work=A-ha.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060618181033/http://forum.a-ha.com/thenewsite/disco.php/video-manhattan.html |archive-date=18 June 2006 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The album's peak on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] was number 74. The album was another big hit by A-ha and sold over 6 million copies worldwide which gave the band international recognition. ''Scoundrel Days'' achieved Platinum status in the UK and Switzerland as well as Germany and Brazil. The album reached number two in the [[European Top 100 Albums]] chart.

Ned Raggett of [[AllMusic]] said, "The opening two songs alone make for one of the best one-two opening punches around: the tense edge of the title track, featuring one of Morten Harket's soaring vocals during the chorus and a crisp, pristine punch in the music, and 'The Swing of Things,' a moody, elegant number with a beautiful synth/guitar arrangement (plus some fine drumming courtesy of studio pro Michael Sturgis) and utterly lovelorn lyrical sentiments that balance on the edge of being overheated without quite going over...The '80s may be long gone, but ''Scoundrel Days'' makes clear that not everything was bad back then."<ref>[http://www.A-ha.com/MUSIC/discography/CD/AHA_albumScoundrelDays.aspx Scoundrel Days info] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081220062657/http://www.a-ha.com/MUSIC/discography/CD/AHA_albumScoundrelDays.aspx |date=20 December 2008 }}</ref>

''Scoundrel Days'' included the singles "[[I've Been Losing You]]", "[[Cry Wolf (A-ha song)|Cry Wolf]]", "Maybe, Maybe", and "[[Manhattan Skyline (song)|Manhattan Skyline]]". All of the UK singles made the top 20 on [[UK Singles Chart]]. "I've Been Losing You" and "Cry Wolf" were the most successful singles from the album, "Cry Wolf" became a minor hit in the US and charted on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]], peaking at #50, while "I've Been Losing You" was the most successful single in [[Europe]].

As part of a re-release of their first two albums, ''Scoundrel Days'' was expanded and remastered in 2010.

On 6 July 2010, the A-ha albums ''[[Hunting High and Low]]'' and ''Scoundrel Days'' were released as deluxe editions in the US through [[Rhino Records]]; both albums debuted in the top 40 of the ''Billboard'' Top Internet Sales chart; ''Hunting High and Low'' at number 34 and ''Scoundrel Days'' at number 36.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://A-ha.com/news/articles/deluxe-albums-enter-us-billboard-charts/ |title=Deluxe albums enter US Billboard charts &#124; The Official Website of a-ha |publisher=A-ha.com |access-date=8 March 2012}}</ref> The remastered reissue of ''Scoundrel Days'' reached number 52 in Germany, number 27 in Norway, number 190 in the UK.
