Rich Man's Woman is the first album by Elkie Brooks.
Brooks' first solo album was released in 1975 in a blaze of publicity and a promotional week at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London. 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 in which Brooks lost faith. The picture sleeve featuring a semi-naked Brooks 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 to focus on her follow-up album, Two Days Away.
The album has been released on CD, coupled with its successor Two Days Away.
