Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released during his highly publicized murder trial to help fund his legal defense, this collection compiles lo-fi studio recordings made prior to the infamous Tate-LaBianca murders. Despite the chilling historical context and the cult leader's notorious legacy, the fragile, acoustic-driven folk songs offer a disturbing, fascinating glimpse into the darkest fringes of the late-60s counterculture.
