PAUL WARREN & EXPLORER - ONE OF THE KIDS (1980)
Explorer was on top of the L.A. club band scene around the time of the Knack's "My Sharona." Fronted by former Temptations session man Paul Warren, this power pop group was featured on Wolfman Jack's Midnite Special TV show before they got signed an RSO record deal. Produced by British Peter Coleman, who was the engineer with the Nick Gilder/Pat Benatar/Knack records for pop producer Mike Chapman. This cocksure all Detroit-L.A. based hot rocker band had a level of intensity to be reckoned with in comparison to a seemingly passive Hollywood scene.

Nice one! I found this in a dollar bin in L.A. a couple of years ago, and this is the first time I've ever seen it acknowledged anywhere! How did you discover this one?
i found it in a dollar bin, i quite liked the front sleeve, then i read it was produced by Peter Coleman (Nick Gilder) for Chinnichap, and also the front picture was from Moshe Brakha (Ramones Leave Home). It was enough for buying it without a listen.
A remarkably fun record for a dollar bin purchase. Good find!
ohhhh what rare vinil i friend have it and copy i a casete in 81.
What a shame that the download doesn't work anymore. Any chance to fix it.
Great blog
I hope you will repost this gem someday again!!!!
