_Stranger Than Fiction_ was originally released 1989. It was reissued
later, minus the last track which sampled Lenny Bruce heavily. I presume
this was for legal reasons.
Keith LeBlanc is among the funkier people on the planet, former member of
the Sugar Hill house band which provided the grooves for a number of
seminal hip hop records. The first Tackhead release, _Major Malfunction_
(based around the shuttle explosion) was credited as a LeBlanc solo
project because of his name recognition factor, after work like the
Malcolm X / "No Sell Out" single. Tackhead released several singles,
collected in superior, remixed/remangled form on _Tackhead Tape Time_, c.
1987. LeBlanc released _Stranger Than Fiction_. Soon the Tackhead story
became complicated by major labels, and perhaps a rift between LeBlanc
and producer Adrian Sherwood.
Look out for the Tackhead retrospective compilations, Power Inc. vol 1 &
2., which catch most of the brightest spots in the Tackhead canon.
