Yes, it's true. In 1967, Charles Manson entered Universal Studios in Hollywood to record a professional session. He was only months out of prison and very nervous. He had 25 songs in various stages of completion. As the session progresses, he becomes more relaxed and his performance starts to shine. An incredible piece of history which also happens to contain some very good music.

The songs:

Sick City

Run For Fun

Clang Bang Clang

Your Home

Monkey

Lock & Loll

Ego is a Too Much Thing

Now is the Time

The House of Tomorrow

Close to Me

She Done Turned Me In

Twilight Blues

Your Daddy's Home

Devil Man

The More You Love

Two Pair Of Shoes

Maiden With Green Eyes (Remember Me)

Swamp Girl

Bet You Think I Care

Look At Your Game, Girl

Who To Blame

My World

Invisible Tears

True Love You Will Find

The Night Life

Sound quality ranges from good to excellent, due to the music being taken from different source tapes. Manson's words and playing are clear and discernable throughout, making for a fascinating listening experience.
