Private Life
"Private Life" is a 1979 song by an English band The Pretenders, famously covered by Jamaican reggae singer Grace Jones and released as a single in 1980.
==Background==
The song was written by Chrissie Hynde, the leader and singer of The Pretenders, and included on that band's eponymous 1980 debut album. The same year the track was covered by Grace Jones on her first post-disco album ''Warm Leatherette'', recorded at the Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas with among others Sly and Robbie. In the liner notes to Island Records' 1998 compilation ''Private Life: The Compass Point Sessions'' Hynde is quoted as saying: ''Like all the other London punks, I wanted to do reggae, and I wrote "Private Life". When I first heard Grace's version I thought 'Now that's how it's supposed to sound!' In fact it was one of the highpoints of my career - what with Sly and Robbie being the masters, and Grace Jones with her scorching delivery. Someone told me it was Chris Blackwell's idea - thanks Chris!''〔Liner notes: Grace Jones ''Private Life: The Compass Point Sessions'', Island Records 524 601-2, 1998.〕
"Private Life" was released as the third single from the ''Warm Leatherette'' album. However, it marked a new era in Jones' career as she left her disco persona behind her and adopted an entirely different image, exploring genres like reggae, rock and new wave. It in fact became Grace Jones' first ever chart entry in the UK, peaking at #17. The single's B-side was a non-album track; "She's Lost Control", originally recorded by Joy Division. Both tracks were remixed and re-edited for the 7" single with the 4:38 version of "Private Life", now available on the Spectrum/Universal ''Music for Girls Night Out'' compilation CD.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Music For Girls Night Out: Various Artists: Amazon.co.uk: Music )〕 The original 7" version of "She's Lost Control" is still yet to be released digitally. In the Netherlands the B-side was the French language "Pars" from the ''Warm Leatherette'' album. In Germany, "La Vie en rose" from 1977 ''Portfolio'' was re-issued as a follow-up single to "Private Life" whereas the UK and the Netherlands opted for "The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game", which had already been the lead single off ''Warm Leatherette'' on American market.
Following the release of the compilation ''Island Life'' in 1985, the song was remixed and re-issued as a single in the UK, then with "My Jamaican Guy" as the B-side, and charted again.
