Private Oyster is the debut solo studio album by American singer Jayne County, released in 1986 by Revolver Records.

Contents

Critical reception

In a retrospective review for AllMusic, critic Dave Thompson gave the album three and a half out of five stars and wrote that "Private Oyster's only real downfall lies in the less than lavish production that is draped across the grooves." adding that "the record still sounds good. But it should have been better."
