"Part Company" is a song by the Australian alternative rock band The Go-Betweens that was released as the first single from their third album Spring Hill Fair. The single was issued in August 1984 by Sire Records with "Just a King in Mirrors" as the B-side.[2] In the UK a 12" single was also released on Sire.[3] The single failed to make an impact on the charts.
In November 1983 the band recorded a number of demos commissioned by Rough Trade for their third album, at Pathway Studios, with producer John Brand.[4] "Newton Told Me" was re-recorded after originally being considered as a B-side for "Man O'Sand to Girl O'Sea" and recorded by the band in May 1983.[4] "Part Company" was also re-recorded in May 1984 for its subsequent inclusion in Spring Hill Fair.
