Dresses Too Short
Syl Johnsonâs first LP hit stores in the summer of 1969. True to its era, it wasnât so much an album as a collection of singles. The four non-single tracks (âSoul Drippinâ,â âFox Hunting On The Weekend,â âSame Kind Of Thing,â and âIâve Got The Real Thingâânone 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 buildingâs 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 â70s.
