Over several years, to 2019, I re-edited Keith LeBlanc's classic "Major Malfunction" album to make it "full length", according to an imaginary concept in my head.

The full story, in gory detail, is here: https://jrbinks.wordpress.com/2019/12/28/major-malfunction-reimagined/

This is the first time I have made this full length, 2hr 16m version publicly available.  A 2hr edit was featured On The Wire in October 2019: https://otwradio.blogspot.com/2019/10/playlist-26th-october-2019.html

What did Keith think of it?  Well I told him I was doing it, he showed some interested and thanked me for asking his permission, but didn't respond when I sent him the final versions and other commentary.  So I don't know ... and now I never will.

In memory of Keith LeBlanc.

After decades of recording and touring, and many turbulent ups and downs, Bostonians TYPE 4 are still going strong.  They've never let go of that golden age of hip-hop, still digging through vinyl for musical samples, and digging through life for lyrical stories.  Tommy O'Deed, Matt Reyes & Bill Ierardi make hip-hop for grownups, the old fashioned way: for the love of it.
