Charles Manson discography
Several recordings by Charles Manson and members of his "Family" have been released since Manson was indicted in late 1969 for the Tate–LaBianca murders.
In the summer of 1968, Manson recorded several tracks at Brian Wilson's home studio, but the recordings remain unheard to the public. The Beach Boys recorded one of Manson's songs, "Cease to Exist" (retitled "Never Learn Not to Love"), and released it as the B-side of their single "Bluebirds over the Mountain" in December 1968. Manson himself did not contribute to the recording.
In 1968, Phil Kaufman, who had met Manson in prison, moved in briefly with Manson and his "Family". Kaufman continually urged Manson to record some of his songs.
While Manson was being held on the Tate–LaBianca charges, he told Kaufman "please put out my music." According to Kaufman, Manson phoned him five days a week, even though he was allowed only three phone calls per day. Manson was "very anxious for his music to be heard."
After established record companies declined to become involved, Kaufman raised $3,000 and pressed 2,000 copies of the album Lie: The Love and Terror Cult. Consisting of recordings made from 1967 to 1969, the album contained thirteen songs. These included "Cease to Exist", a song the Beach Boys had recorded in modified form as "Never Learn Not to Love". Each of the original 2,000 copies came with a poster that was put out by "A Joint Venture" and that bore signatures of many prisoners and inmates, all supporting Manson and the Family.[citation needed]
The album was released March 6, 1970. It was distributed on the West Coast, by the same people who did the first underground album, Great White Wonder, a collection of pirated Bob Dylan tapes. Over the next couple of months, only about three hundred copies were sold. Having supposedly failed to recover his investment, Kaufman signed an agreement with New-York-based ESP-Disk to distribute the album nationally.
The Manson family recorded songs written by Manson in 1970: first released on limited edition vinyl as The Manson Family Sings the Songs of Charles Manson in 1986, the recordings were reissued as The Family Jams in 1997; Manson himself does not perform.
In the 1980s, Manson made many recordings via tape recorders in prison. These were given to associates on the outside. It is not known exactly how many were made, however, over a dozen unique tapes have surfaced. These recordings were the source for several CDs such as Commemoration, Live at San Quentin and The Way of the Wolf. A short piece of spoken words by him also appears on a Greek private CD release by Anger Department. The acoustic album Completion was recorded in the 1980s by Henry Rollins of Black Flag fame. The record was supposed to be released by SST Records, but the project was later canceled due to the label receiving death threats. Only five test pressings of Completion were made, two of which remain in Rollins' possession.
