The iconic soundtrack to the ’80s movie Pretty in Pink is set to be reissued in celebration of the movie’s 40th anniversary.
The soundtrack, which features songs from INXS, Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark (OMD), New Order, The Smiths, The Psychedelic Furs and more, will be reissued as a limited-edition “Pretty in Baby Pink” vinyl. It will include two songs not previously available on the original soundtrack: Otis Redding‘s “Try a Little Tenderness” and Talk Back‘s “Rudy.”
It will also be released on standard black vinyl with the original track list.
The reissue will be released March 13 and is available for preorder now.
The Pretty in Pink soundtrack featured such iconic tunes as the title track by The Psychedelic Furs, as well as “If You Leave” by OMD, which peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album peaked at #5 on the Billboard chart and has been included on several lists of the best soundtracks of all time.
And this isn’t the only way the movie’s anniversary is being celebrated. The film, written by John Hughes and starring Molly Ringwald, Andrew McCarthy, Jon Cryer, Harry Dean Stanton, Annie Potts and James Spader, will return to theaters Feb. 13 through Feb. 16.
This special 40th anniversary screening features a bonus “Filmmaker Focus” featurette with director Howard Deutch, who recounts memories of the movie’s production and talks about its lasting impact.
