Description

Syl Johnson's first LP hit stores in the summer of 1969. True to its era, it wasn't 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 'I've Got the Real Thing' - none of them a throwaway) were outtakes tacked on to capitalise on the expanding long-player market. Prolific designer and photographer Jerry Griffith shot the cover on a South Michigan Avenue building's balcony. Despite blaring its title in Christmas-y, green-and-red cover lettering, 'Dresses Too Short' never found its season creatively or commercially, selling just a few thousand copies before being discontinued in the mid '70s.
