Private Parts and Pieces II: Back to the Pavilion is the second "generic" album by Anthony Phillips. The album is composed of previously recorded pieces that had been parts of or intended for other projects. The album was released at a time when Phillips was between his Arista Records and RCA recording contracts, but still had a distribution deal with U.S. label Passport Records.

Several tracks were instrumental links recorded for Wise After the Event (1978), when that release was still conceived as an album coupled with an EP. The "Scottish Suite" brings together work originally commissioned as part of an aborted project to set Macbeth to music.

The 1990 CD reissue included a new recording of a song that dates from Phillips' time in Genesis.
