First editions come in the hard plastic transparent cases, but later pressings came in the softer plastic cases. The DVD includes the promotional video for "Move To Memphis".

To coincide with the release of the singles collection 1984-2004, "Headlines And Deadlines" was re-released with a different sleeve (early in 2005?). Headlines And Deadlines - The Hits Of a-ha re-issue The content of the DVD is exactly the same as the original release, but the sleeve is quite different. The top section of the sleeve is almost identical to the cover of "The Singles 1984|2004" / "The definitive singles collection 1984-2004". The bottom section of the sleeve uses some of the artwork taken from the album booklet. There is a black strip along the bottom with a white "G" indicating that the content is suitable for general viewing. The DVD claims that it is suitable for regions 2 to 5 rather than 2 to 6 like the first version.

Having completed a successful tour of Japan and Europe, a-ha returned to their native Norway on the 24th and 25th of March 2001, for two two sell-out shows at Oslo's new football arena; Vallhall. This DVD is a recording of the first night.
