I know there are several versions/-Re-Mixes of this around, but this is the one I have been looking for. Anyyone know if this specific mix ever made it to CD?
@kryptonian55 Apologies for the delay in contacting!, but did you find it/get it on CD? All info above (click on 'show more'), but Propaganda - Wishful Thinking (a remix album) - Track 1 A great collection, well worth anybody's hard earned.........Cheers! :)
Never thought I'd see the day-- Finally found this track from Hughes' "Some Kind of Wonderful". Love it. This is why the internet is awesome. I'd have never located this without the web.
This was a rare B-side single from Propaganda back in the 80's. John Hughes picked the best tunes for his flicks back then, didn't he?
Quizzlefits, too bad I didn't know you were looking for this song. I bought the Wishful Thinking album from Propaganda in 1985 and when Some Kind of Wonderful came out two years later, I was really happy to hear one of my favorite songs from that album used in the opening sequence of the movie. I still have the original Propanda vinyl album as well as the CD version. Great to listen to all the way through!
@quizzlefits I had actually owned the Wishful Thinking LP a couple of years before Some Kind of Wonderful came out. As I'm sitting in the movie theater watching the intro of the movie, all I could do is have a big smile on my face because people were getting to hear something I'd been enjoying for quite some time! It was pretty cool seeing Watts air-drumming along to this awesome track. The whole Wishful Thinking album is excellent and I highly recommend it if you like "Abuse."
I've been looking for this forever. I was always told the opening track to Some Kind Of Wonderful was Dr. Mabuse, but it was never the version i'd heard. This is it. Awesome. Love it.
The real talent John Hughes had was putting together ridiculous soundtracks.

Was it John Hughes that picked these or the Music Producer? Anyway, whomever picked these songs did a fantastic job. My favorite movie :-)
