Rich Man's Woman is the first album by Elkie Brooks.

Background

[edit]

Brooks' first solo album was released in 1975 with publicity including a promotional week at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London. The picture sleeve featuring a semi-naked Brooks was controversial.[citation needed]

Despite an initial marketing campaign, both A&M and Elkie decided to stop promoting the work and to focus on her follow-up album, Two Days Away[citation needed].

The album has been released on CD, coupled with its successor Two Days Away.
