"Private Parts and Pieces" is officially the fourth (though technically the third) solo album from guitarist Anthony Phillips. Unlike his previous releases, this one was assembled as a collection of instrumental music, rather than as an explicit attempt at a commercial album. It was first released in the U.S. and Canada in January 1979. The April 1979, UK release was a limited edition sold with the first 5,000 copies of Sides. Although the album itself came at an awkward time for Phillips, whose contract with Arista had run its course, the non-commercial "Private Parts and Pieces" format proved successful or useful enough to him to become a series of albums in its own right.

While Phillips had previously credited a good deal of his non-guitar work under pseudonyms, on this album the credits were straightforward. Peter Cross did the artwork for the album.

The 1990 CD reissue of "Private Parts and Pieces" included two new, solo recordings of material that dates from Phillips' time in Genesis.

Miscellanea

Though "Private Parts and Pieces" is officially considered Anthony Phillips' fourth album, it was actually released in North America a few months before "Sides" was released anywhere. In addition, the cover of "Sides" makes references to the covers of previous works, with "Private Parts and Pieces" clearly being the third (after "The Geese And The Ghost" and "Wise After The Event").
