" Director John Hughes refused to release a soundtrack album for his film Ferris Bueller's Day Off because he didn't think that the diverse collection of songs in the movie would "work" together. People have been looking in vain for that album ever since. The closest thing that exists is a promotional single (45RPM) featuring tracks from the film; the single was distributed through the mail to John Hughes fan club and at sneak previews around the time of the film's release. It featured "Beat City" by the Flowerpot Men and "I'm Afraid" by Blue Room on the flip side. "

Recently this historical wrong was corrected with the making of the Unofficial Ferris Bueller's Day Off Soundtrack.
