What It Is produced by Stafford Douglas for Art & Craft Records in 1982
Produced by Stafford Douglas for Art and Craft Records in 1982, What It Is pairs just two cuts and keeps the focus tight on the rhythm itself. Louie Lepkie’s Love Got A Hold On Me and The Heptones’ title track give the riddim its identity, with The Heptones bringing that familiar harmony-group weight to the flip. It’s a compact early-80s Art and Craft release that reflects the label’s lean, single-riddim approach and the era’s move toward stripped-down studio versions built for vocal cuts.
