Reviews & Discussion
One of four LP's released by the great Soul Fire label and probably musically the most versatile. You get funk (and even a bit soul) in all it's variations and it's only 10 tracks on there but basically you could describe this album in three words: heavy, heavy and heavy. It's unbelievable what The Explorers did on the instrumentals and it's hard to pick a stand out track! The one which arguably stands out the most is "Rapping With Lee", which is a perfect example for where rap music came from in the late seventies. Every time I come across this LP I want to purchase it for a seccond and third time but like the other Soul Fire releases the Problems LP came as a limited press and doesn't show up often nowadays. If this came out 30 years ago this would be one of those four digit funk LP's that pass peoples hands on ebay. If you don't have it, get it.
