17 APRIL 1966
London band the Artwoods released their somewhat rapey single ‘I’ll Take What I Want’ during April 1966. The lyrics took a caveman approach to romance, 'I'll take what I want, and what I want is you.'
The Artwoods were a popular live act on the London mod scene but this never really translated into record sales. This bluesy, fuzzy and fast song was their only charting single, reaching a respectable #28 in the UK.
