August Ramone26 The Emperors – I want my woman
US Single B-Seite 1965

In the spring of 1965 they released their next 45 on the Sabra label. The A-side is a fine jangly ballad, “And Then“, but for the flip they fashioned an entirely different sound. A pounding bass and drum beat punctuated with staccato guitar notes sets up the leering vocal „Let me tell you a story …“ and then the refrain: „He-e-e-y woman … I want my woman“! This is the kind of intense, demented record garage fans live for!
The Emperors – And Then
The Emperors – I Want My Woman
Both sides were written by Bill Hughes who also sang on „I Want My Woman“, arranged by Glen Spreen, and produced by Lelan Rogers before he returned to Texas. For a long time there was confusion over whether this was a Texas group because Rogers included “I Want My Woman” on Epitaph for a Legend, which compiled rare tracks of bands on the International Artists label.
