Whether you love or hate (or as in my case, like well enough) the polarizing "Space Hymns" by RAMASES, it's hard to believe it was as good as it was given the single that preceded it. Even In the context of the time period, "Gold is the Ring" sounds pitiably dated but you can't help sing along with that chorus, and while "Love You" and "Screw You" (which came first?) show much more gumption and a slightly gimmicky but original approach to the same song by just swapping out one word, it's musically a slog. So, while both have redeeming qualities, I am quite flummoxed as to if and how it helped secure any sort of recording contract. Still, I'm glad they went for the brass ring because stories like this don't come along every day.
