Because you're young - Private lives

This single from 1982 features an early version of the track 'Because you're young' by the then-unknown group Private Lives. The sleeve only added to the mystery: there was no photograph of its members anywhere. A listing of names on the back of the sleeve reveals that Private Lives consisted of John Adams, Steve Harvey, Brother James, Rick Lane, John Reid and Bobby Valentino. Session musicians Paul Harvey and Gary Barnacle appeared on this track as well.

The single did not reach the charts, but the track would resurface in 1984 as a re-recorded B-side of the single 'From a river to a sea'.

My collection: 7" single no. 2953
Found: Record fair, February 7, 1998
Cost: 2 guilders
Tracks: 'Because you're young' / 'Because you're young (instrumental)'

  1. I'm a big Private Lives & John Adams fan. I've posted quite a bit on my blog. Any chance of getting hold of the PL tracks you have in a higher bit rate? I'll trade you my set.
