A small treasure trio.
At its center 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 between boogie and steppers, the kind of privatepress 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 holds its own, but together they form a memorable trio for anyone seeking these tracks in their best-sounding and most tangible form.
