SYL JOHNSON - Tripping On Your Love / Foxy Brown SYL JOHNSON

7'' - Indies Exclusive Limited Edition Black Vinyl. 

A small treasure trio. At its centre is the first-ever 7” appearance of Sylvester “Syl” Johnson’s vibrant, groove-driven “Tripping on Your Love” and the title track “Foxy Brown,” long considered a funk collector’s grail—never reissued, never compiled, and sitting in that sweet spot be- tween boogie and steppers, the kind of private-press rarity that could only come out of Chicago.

Joining Syl is Ujima’s full-bodied soul workout, powered by steady rhythm and rich group harmonies, paired with Spirit of Brotherhood’s gritty, street-level funk cut—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 in the 3 Numero Eccentric Soul series 7-inches scheduled for March holds its own, but together they form a memorable trio for anyone seeking these tracks in their best-sounding and most tangible form.
