Charles Manson
è conosciuto in tutto il mondo come uno spietato serial killer, in pochi sanno che in realtà non ha mai ucciso nessuno. Simbolo del Male ed icona della malvagità, Manson è ormai diventato un mito contemporaneo e le verità della sua storia si perdono nella leggenda e nell'aneddotica.
Questo Blog non vuole in ogni caso occuparsi di violenza e di fatti di sangue, ma di musica, perchè Charles Manson prima ancora di essere implicato nel drammatico caso Tate-LaBianca è stato ed è tutt'oggi un musicista. Qui troverete una descrizione di tutti gli album di Manson e della sua comune, la Family. Quando possibile ci sarà anche un link per ascoltare o scaricare i pezzi.
Tutto questo per far conoscere anche in Italia la musica di un uomo che, date le circostanze, non ha avuto la possibilità di esprimere la sua arte.

The Lost Vacaville Tape's



In September 2013 a new Charles Manson album was released by Underworld Productions. It's called "The Lost Vacaville Tape's", 13 never before heard Charles Manson songs recorded in 1983 during his days at Vacaville Medical Facility. This pressing comes out in 1000 copies and the first 200 hand numbered Lps come with small items worn by Charlie.
The songs of  "The Lost Vacaville Tape's" are really inspired and beautiful, calm and peaceful, perfectly and clearly recorded and remastered... During the 38 minutes recording Manson sings about himself, his mother and the world in a very relaxed way giving us some a cappella songs, some ramblings, spoken words and a funny version of Arkansas (from the Lie album) included on the song Poor Man Blues.
Here's an abstract from the album's 24 page glossy book: 'What you are about to listen to is a Miracle. A Miracle that was lost in time for over 27 years! Recorded back in 1983-1984 while incarcerated at The Vacaville Medical Facility. It was during this time that Manson met fellow Musician & Inmate Eddie Richard Ragsdale, AKA, "RAGS." Together the Wizard & Rags recorded over ten cassette tapes full of new, unheard & unreleased music. Music that was rumored "The Best & Only of its Kind." The only recorded collaboration of Charles Manson with any other musician in history! ​​​​​​Some of these recorded tapes Manson sent out to friends such as T.J Walleman & Ansom 13 but to no surprise, most of the tapes mysteriously disappeared and remained lost for 27 years. For many of those years Manson never stopped searching for the tapes. Tapes that would eventually come to be known as, "The Lost Vacaville Tapes." To no avail, many of Manson's closest of friends & confidants would search high & low for these Vacaville Tapes. It was not until recently (2011-2012) that the tapes began to surface. From America to Germany, some of the "Lost Vacaville Tapes" were slowly being released but it wasn't until now, only one has surfaced with Rags' collaboration on it'
