Syl Johnson - Tripping On Your Love B/W Foxy Brown [7"]

A small treasure trio.At its center is the first-ever 7a€ appearance of Sylvester a€œSyla€ Johnsons vibrant, groove-driven a€œTripping on Your Lovea€ and the title track a€œFoxy Brown,a€ long considered a funk collectors graila€"never reissued, never compiled, and sitting in that sweet spot between boogie and steppers, the kind of private-press rarity that could only come out of Chicago. Joining Syl is Ujimas full-bodied soul workout, powered by steady rhythm and rich group harmonies, paired with Spirit of Brotherhoods gritty, street-level funk cuta€"recorded to tape, nearly lost to time, and later revived as the standout opener of Side A on Eccentric Disco, a release strong enough to spark seven more genre-focused editions from Numero.Each 45 holds its own, but together they form a memorable trio for anyone seeking these tracks in their best-sounding and most tangible form.
