Private Parts and Pieces IV: A Catch at the Tables is an album by Anthony Phillips, released by Passport Records in April 1984. Like the first two albums in the "Private Parts and Pieces" series, the tracks on A Catch at the Tables were a collection of experiments, improvisations, and music written for other projects.

Contents

Two bonus tracks were added when the album was reissued on compact disc by Virgin Records in 1991. The first one, "Erotic Strings" was originally incidental music for the play "Tropical Moon over Dorking," which starred Pauline Collins.

On February 7, 2012, Voiceprint released a 2-CD set of Private Parts and Pieces III and Private Parts and Pieces IV, containing additional bonus tracks.

On September 11, 2015, Esoteric Recordings (a Cherry Red Records label) released a 5-disc box set containing the first four volumes in the Private Parts and Pieces series and a 5th disc of previously unreleased material.
