Private Revolution is the debut album by the Welsh-British rock band World Party.

At this point, singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Karl Wallinger was the only member of World Party, and the only person pictured on the cover.

Wallinger is assisted on this album by several session musicians, including Anthony Thistlethwaite, Steve Wickham and Sinéad O'Connor.

Several other musicians listed in the credits are actually whimsically named pseudonyms for Wallinger himself.

[5] All songs written by Karl Wallinger except "Dance of the Hoppy Lads", written by Wallinger with Stephen Wickham, and "All I Really Want to Do", written by Bob Dylan.
