SYL JOHNSON - Dresses Too Short LP Field Recordings YellowelectricSyl Johnsons first LP hit stores in the summer of 1969. True to its era, it wasnt so much an album as a collection of singles. The four non single tracks (Soul Drippin, Fox Hunting On The Weekend, Same Kind Of Thing, and Ive Got The Real Thingnone of them a throwaway) were outtakes tacked on to capitalize on the expanding long player market. Prolific designer and photographer Jerry Griffith shot the cover on a South Michigan Avenue buildings balcony.
