Tracklist
1. Lloyd Hemmings – Work To Do
2. Lloyd Hemmings – Version
In 1985 he recorded the tune Work To Do with producer Wayne Armond, guitarist/singer with the band Chalice, for the 1985 Jamaican festival song competition. He recorded the song at the Dynamic Sounds Studios in Kingston, with musicians including Keith Francis, Desmond Jones, Mikey Wallace & Ervin ‘Allah’ Lloyd.
The reissue of this single by Jamwax Records brings this underrated singer back into the limelight. The uptempo song, underpinned by a rousing riddim, gives Lloyd ample opportunity to showcase his vocal qualities. The conscious lyrics sung with conviction are a plus and confirm the fact that this tune should not be forgotten.
The reissue -limited edition- comes in an accurate replica of the original 1985 issue.
