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

The back cover includes a dedication to fellow former Warhol superstar and playwright Jackie Curtis, who had died the previous year of a heroin overdose at the age of 38.[2]

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."
