Rich Man's Woman is an album by Elkie Brooks.
Background
Brooks' solo debut in 1975 was released in a blaze of publicity and a promotional week at London's Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club. Recorded as a rock album in the vein of her work with Vinegar Joe, A&M Records were unhappy with the direction and decided to tone the album down, producing unsatisfactory results and an album which Brooks lost faith in. The picture sleeve featuring a semi-naked Elkie caused outrage at the time and remains controversial.
Despite an initial marketing campaign both A&M and Elkie decided to stop promoting the work and focus on her follow up album, Two Days Away.
