Editing Ferris Bueller's Day Off (section)

===Limited edition fan club soundtrack===
An official soundtrack was not originally released for the film, since director [[John Hughes (filmmaker)|John Hughes]] felt the songs would not work well together as a continuous album.<ref>{{cite news | first=William | last=Ham | title=John Hughes: Straight Outta Sherman | url=http://www.lollipop.com/issue47/47-02-03.html | work=Lollipop Magazine | access-date=December 12, 2009 | archive-date=August 19, 2000 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000819144335/http://www.lollipop.com/issue47/47-02-03.html | url-status=live }}</ref> However, according to an interview with ''Lollipop'' Magazine, Hughes noted that he had sent 100,000 7" vinyl singles containing two songs featured in the film to members of his fan mailing list.<ref name="lollipop">''Lollipop'' Magazine article: "[http://www.lollipop.com/issue47/47-02-03.html John Hughes – Straight Outta Sherman] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000819144335/http://www.lollipop.com/issue47/47-02-03.html |date=August 19, 2000 }}" By William Ham.</ref> Hughes gave further details about his refusal to release a soundtrack in the ''Lollipop'' interview:

{{blockquote|The only official soundtrack that ''Ferris Bueller's Day Off'' ever had was for the mailing list. [[A&M Records|A&M]] was very angry with me over that; they begged me to put one out, but I thought "who'd want all of these songs?" I mean, would kids want "[[Danke Schoen]]" and "[[Oh Yeah (Yello song)|Oh Yeah]]" on the same record? They probably already had "Twist and Shout", or their parents did, and to put all of those together with the more contemporary stuff, like the (English) Beat—I just didn't think anybody would like it. But I did put together a seven-inch of the two songs I owned the rights to—"Beat City" on one side, and... I forget, one of the other English bands on the soundtrack... and sent that to the mailing list. By '86, '87, it was costing us $30 a piece to mail out 100,000 packages. But it was a labor of love.<ref name="lollipop" />}}
