Major Malfunction is the debut album of American drummer Keith LeBlanc, produced by Fats Comet (one of several aliases of Tackhead), and released in 1986 by World Records.[1] The vinyl release plays continuously from beginning to end on sides A and B, while the World and Cleopatra CD releases index each side as a track. This production was ground breaking in 1986 and copied by many.[2]
Despite the almost universal reference to this album as Major Malfunction, the original cover showed Major Malfuction as the title. This was corrected on the Select Cuts reissue.
The Cleopatra version was erroneously mastered, with Side 2 as track 1 and vice versa.
