Para cualquiera que haya crecido en la década de 1980, las películas de John Hughes son algunas de las más icónicas de la década y han creado un impacto cultural que todavía se siente y se menciona en la televisión, el cine y la música.
Además de los personajes y las historias creadas en estas películas icónicas, lo que hizo que las películas de John Hughes fueran diferentes del resto fue la relación simbiótica entre la escena y la música.
Ya sea Cameron Frye mirando la pintura en Ferris Bueller's Day Off al ritmo de "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want (Instrumental)" de The Dream Academy, Duckie y Andie de Pretty In Pink en el baile de graduación al ritmo de Orchestral Maneuvers In The Dark y su “If You Leave”, o incluso la escena de Neal y Del de “esas no son almohadas” de Planes, Trains and Automobiles ambientada con el “Back In Baby's Arms” de Emmylou Harris.
Para el actor Matthew Broderick: "La música era una gran parte de la realización de películas para él, era algo que parecía gustarle incluso más que rodar".
Comisariada por el supervisor musical de John Hughes, Tarquin Gotch, esta caja de vinilos de 6 LP (disponible también en Cd y casete) incluye 73 pistas de las películas: National Lampoon’s Vacation (¡Socorro! Llegan las vacaciones), Sixteen Candles (Dieciséis velas), The Breakfast Club (El Club De Los Cinco), Weird Science (La Mujer Explosiva), Pretty In Pink (La Chica De Rosa), Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (Todo En Un Día), Some Kind Of Wonderful (Una Maravilla Con Clase), Planes, Trains And Automobiles (Mejor Solo Que Mal Acompañado), She’s Having A Baby (La Loca Aventura Del Matrimonio), The Great Outdoors (Dos Cuñados Desenfrenados) y Uncle Buck (Solos Con Nuestro Tío).
Tarquin Gotch comenta sobre esta recopilación: “Cuando trabajábamos en estas bandas sonoras de películas, la mejor manera de enviar música alrededor del mundo era el casete. Le enviamos a John casetes de música recién lanzada, demos, de mezclas recién terminadas (y a cambio él enviaba videos VHS de las escenas que necesitaban música)”.
Las películas de John Hughes generaron muchos clásicos, algunos con licencia para las películas, algunos por encargo específicamente, y muchos se convirtieron en grandes éxitos internacionales de artistas como Simple Minds, Kate Bush, Furniture, Yello o The Psychedelic Furs.
Según James Hughes: “Sirve como un recordatorio no solo para los músicos que defendió en la década de 1980, sino también para ver cuán intensamente se expandió su búsqueda de música más allá de esta época. Hasta sus últimos días, todavía coleccionaba cantidades escandalosas de música de todo el mundo, galaxias alejadas de los Nuevos Románticos y sonidos de la nueva ola que, para muchos, aún lo definen”.
Esta edición también incluye un extenso folleto de 24 páginas que incluye recuerdos de Matthew Broderick, James Hughes, Tarquin Gotch o Ron Payne, además de notas pista por pista.

Tarquin Gotch añade: “John dijo que solo hizo películas para poder elegir qué música poner en ellas, así que a medida que crecía su éxito en la taquilla y, por lo tanto, su poder con los estudios, la cantidad de temas en sus películas, integradas en su mayoría por bandas emergentes del Reino Unido, creció constantemente".
