The Time Has Come to Reappear

There are lyrics in The Privates song “Karate and Explosions” that go:

We can now say it’s been years
The time has come to reappear

Maybe I’m taking it out of context but I’d say that’s downright prophetic! The band was active from 2003 to 2010, releasing two albums, two EPs and playing live whenever schedules allowed. Aside from a single one-off show they played in 2013, the band has been dormant for well over a decade. You could say it’s been years.

Well, the time has come to reappear! We Are Really Rocking Now, Haven’t We? is the bands best of compilation with two brand new songs bookending the release. I’ve always thought it was a bold move to add new songs to a Best Of compilation but I can’t deny that “Don’t Take It Out On Me” and “Old Times” are everything I want from The Privates. Truly worthy of being on this compilation.

None of these songs have ever been pressed to vinyl previously. To that end, we went all out on the packaging with a single pocket gatefold jacket filled with snippets from the bands history. I am positive you’ll enjoy poring over it. And, of course, it sounds fantastic!

Pick up the LP over on Bandcamp and then go stream the album on your preferred platform. Send us your favorite track; we’d love to know which one really transports you back!
