I just bought an insanely cheap copy of this 1986 CD. The songs are pretty good, favorites include New Order's great Shellshock, Echo & The Bunnymen's New Order-like Bring On The Dancing Horses and Suzanne Vega's Left Of Center. According to imdb, also New Order's Elegia and Thieves Like Us are in the film.
None of Gore's score is featured on the album, which is a disappointment. This cue is pretty nice:

I actually haven't seen the film. How much score is there in the film? Will there ever be an extended version with selections from the score?

I still prefer Some Kind Of Wonderful
I agree, CindyLover. A better, more satisfying film in just about every way (with the possible exception of the music, which I'd have to do a side-by-side with PIP).
Pretty in Pink's ending just seemed like a copout to me, despite Ducky getting a better looking girl than Molly Ringwald in Kristy Swanson.... 
The score from Some Kind Of Wonderful is very interesting, the only score super-producer Stephen Hague ever wrote (with John Musser). A pity none of it is on the album.
Here is a suite:

Some Kind of Wonderful also featured Dr. Mabuse by Propaganda during it's opening sequence if I remember. Synthpop classic.
Yes, but it was not on the album. Maybe because the track was 2 years old?

Jenk, I think Ducky did synch to "Try A Little Tenderness." You said you hated the ending, which is fine, but I thought you might want to know this. I guess the director first filmed an ending that had Ringwald romantically hooking up with Ducky at the end. When the film was tested on an audience, the audience did not like the ending. So they had to pull back in the cast and redo the ending. Blane realizes his mistake, and she leaves with him. I have to say that I liked that final ending. And, of course, Ducky was noticed by the pretty blonde.
Yeah, there were two endings, but the story I had always heard was that it was Molly Ringwald who liked Andrew McCarthy better than John Cryer, feeling she had "no chemistry" with the latter in real life, and on film.
I'd love to see that original ending the director wrote and shot, even if just as a bonus feature on a Blu-Ray or DVD. I'd put up with Blane getting the girl Ducky really wants (and that Blane doesn't deserve) just to see the non-compromise ending.

I only remember that it was "uncredited".
You mean it was not on the end credits?
Imdb credits the song as ABUSE.

THANK YOU, First Breath. This is amazing and sure takes me back. Feels like the perfect time to watch the DVD again; it's been too long. I wish there were a Blu-ray of this. One of my fave John Hughes movies. In some ways a remake of PRETTY IN PINK. Deutch does a great job of directing a Hughes script. And Watts? Oh, man, one of my most heart-wrenching crushes ever. At 18, I thought if I wished for it hard enough, my own Watts would come into my life. Damn, that was a big crush!
