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.[2] 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.[3]
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.
