“Let me give you some superlatives,” says Jeff Gold, Warner Bros. The release will piggyback not only on the already massive Stern-generated advance promotion of the film via his nationally syndicated daily radio show, but also on his powerful multimedia track record.
The disc will also include movie dialogue and additional exclusive Stern material (including a track on which he sings lead vocals). The track is being hailed as a Jane’s Addiction reunion, teaming Pyros Perry Farrell and Stephen Perkins with fellow former Addiction bandmate Dave Navarro and his current Red Hot Chili Peppers bandmate, Flea. 25, will contain a mix of classic and modern rock, including Porno For Pyros’ “Hard Charger,” the first single. release of the soundtrack to “Private Parts.” The film, which opens March 7, is based on Stern’s best-selling autobiography of the same name. Howard Stern, who has had tremendous success in radio, books and television, attacks record racks this month with the Warner Bros. Bunkered down in Long Island with his wife and three young daughters, too terrified of his own sexual reveries to do anything but parade them - endlessly - on the air, he may be the prime contemporary example of Flaubert’s dictum, ”Be cautious and bourgeois in your life so that you can be daring in your art.The self-proclaimed “king of all media” is primed to conquer another realm: music.

Penned by Stern himself (though he might almost have talked it into a tape recorder), this blasphemously funny autobiography-scrapbook is, in essence, Howard’s radio show jammed between two covers. That voice comes through with buoyant abandon in Private Parts ( Simon & Schuster).
