"Part Three into Paper Walls" is a song by Australian pop singer Russell Morris. It was co-written by Morris and Johnny Young and produced by Ian "Molly" Meldrum. It was released as a double A-sided single, with "The Girl That I Love", in July 1969 and peaked at number one on the Australian Go-Set chart for four weeks. Morris became the first Australian artist to achieve consecutive number-ones with their first two singles.[1] The single was certified Gold in Australia[2] and was the 12th highest selling single of 1969.[3]
Russell Morris had released his debut solo single, "The Real Thing" in March 1969.[4][5] It was written as "The Real Thing – Parts 1 and 2" by Johnny Young and the recording was produced by Ian "Molly" Meldrum.[4][5] The single peaked at number one on the Go-Set National Top 40.[4][5]
To write the follow-up single, "Part Three into Paper Walls"/"The Girl That I Love", Morris again worked with Young. They co-wrote the first track and Young wrote the second track.[4][5] Meldrum also produced this single, which appeared in July.[4] According to Australian music journalist, Ed Nimmervoll, "Part Three into Paper Walls" was "The Real Thing" revisited, while "The Girl That I Love" was a pop ballad, which Young had offered to Morris before he had recorded "Real Thing".[4] The single reached number one on 18 October 1969 and remained in the top spot for four weeks.[6]
