London's The Artwoods were one of the most electrifying beat and R&B acts of the 1960s, yet they remained largely overlooked during their original run. Featuring a young Jon Lord on organ — years before his tenure in Deep Purple — the band carved out a fierce, soulful sound that stood shoulder to shoulder with contemporaries like The Pretty Things, The Yardbirds, and The Action. I Take It All (Singles Collection) brings together all of their non-LP singles and EP tracks recorded between 1964 and 1967 for Decca, Parlophone, and Fontana, finally available on vinyl for the first time.
Presented in original mono mixes and remastered for this release, the collection spans the full arc of the band's output — from driving mod classics like "Big City" and "I Take What I Want" to the proto-psychedelic textures of "In The Deep End" and "Brother Can You Spare A Dime." Released on the Guerssen label, this compilation comes housed in a gatefold sleeve with liner notes by Mike Stax of Ugly Things magazine, along with an insert featuring photos and memorabilia, making it a thoroughly rewarding listen and a well-documented piece of 1960s British music history.
