The Fortunes - This Golden Ring - Mono Edit (stereo?)

No, not stereo, edit for headphones. Wider sound, more bass, "home stereo equipment sound".
Mono single version from the cd "The Fortunes - The Singles" (1999)(a flac from the great SoulSeek user "Stier Herman" who has 461.733 files...).
Far better version than the mellow slimy stereo remake that is all over the web.

This song was their seventh single and a 1966 UK no 15 hit and a Dutch no 8 hit.

Sung by The Fortunes, music by session musicians...

THIS GOLDEN RING
(Roger Greenaway and Roger Cook)

This golden ring's gonna buy me
A place in my baby's heart
This golden ring's gonna make
Quite sure that we never part

It's so funny what a ring can do
Make a girl just like you
Take a ride downtown
Searching for a wedding gown
So I got a ring for my baby
And I think that very soon that maybe
That girl will be mine
Gonna have an angel divine
And everything is gonna be fine, so fine

This golden ring is all I have
To give to you
But given time and love
I'll make your dreams come true

I've been a-sitting on my money
I've been a-working hard girl
Only with you on my mind
We got more than money
We got a love that's gonna last us

It's so funny what a ring can do
Make a girl just like you
Take a ride downtown
Searching for a wedding gown
So I got a ring for my baby
And I think that very soon that maybe
That girl will be mine
Gonna have an angel divine
And everything is gonna be fine, so fine
Fine...
