Reissue of "Charles Manson's Sings", originally released as "Lie: The Love and Terror Cult" in 1970. Charles Manson visited New York City in the early '60s with his guitar and his songs in a vain search for recognition. Later, he had better luck in Beverly Hills, where famous musicians let him use their studio to produce this album. He has vocal backup from the women of the ''family''.
During a stay in a San Francisco prison, he met a fellow inmate and gave him the
album to release. While Manson was being tried and convicted of participation in
his notorious murder spree, the government attempted to discredit the hippie
movement by citing him as an example, hoping to stem the rising tide of anger
among the population over the war in Vietnam. This album has achieved cult status
among connoisseurs of '60s folk-rock.
