A new box set devoted to late filmmaker John Hughes presents a diverse collection of pop songs he helped bring to the masses. Life Moves Pretty Fast. The John Hughes Mixtapes offers four volumes of songs from the writer/director's popular comedies and teen dramas including The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The director's longtime music supervisor Tarquin Gotch has curated the collection with the help of Hughes' son James, even working from some of the filmmaker's personal mix tapes as featured on the cover of the package. Gotch, the younger Hughes, and Ferris Bueller himself (actor Matthew Broderick) have all penned notes and tributes for the accompanying booklet, which will also include track-by-track annotations. The box will be available as a 4CD or 6LP set, with a double vinyl cutdown also available. A limited edition version of the 4CD set will add in a reissue of a 7" sent to members of Hughes' fan club featuring two tracks from Ferris Bueller's Day Off (which wouldn't appear on CD until decades later) as well as a Hughesian cassette featuring a selection from the box.
