Marilyn Manson 1990-xx-xx

unknown, FL

The Beaver Meat Cleaver Beat is the second demo tape by the Spooky Kids. Multiple variants of this demo exist, and at least three different cover designs are in possession of collectors. The covers include lyrics for six tracks: White Knuckles, Red (In My) Head, My Monkey, Strange Same Dogma, and I.V.-T.V. They are likely refined versions of tracks from the first demo, The Raw Bones Psalms, along with a new track, White Knuckles. I don't have a copy of these tapes yet and cannot confirm this information.

There are also related demo tapes, which were circulated without cover art and feature an extended track list that adds Junk the Magic Dragon and The Telephone (a.k.a. Jesus Is My Boyfriend) with an instrumental outro. They are advertised as The Beaver Meat Cleaver Beat on multiple websites, e.g., http://spookykids.net/disco/bmcb.html and https://manson.wiki/The_Beaver_Meat_Cleaver_Beat, but due to the lack of circulating demo tapes with covers, it is not entirely clear whether they actually are variants of The Beaver Meat Cleaver Beat. In comparison with The Raw Bones Psalms, the relative timing of the shared tracks is similar, but there are noticeable differences, such as alternate vocals in the chorus of Strange Same Dogma. They are also faster and differently balanced, but it's unclear whether these are just analog duplication artifacts.

Description

This recording is described as sourced from a second-generation copy of an original tape obtained by a collector from producer Frank Falestra. Although Falestra was likely the original producer, it is more likely a transfer from a second-generation tape dub made by a Spooky Kids collector from his original tapes, just like other circulating 2nd generation transfers. It has been split into individual tracks, with pauses removed.

Side B contains an incomplete interview with Marilyn Manson by Scott David, only the first 6 minutes are included. It begins with a few seconds of KMFDM music, followed by the exchange:

SD: "Marilyn Manson & The Spooky Kids. How are you doing, Marilyn?"
MM: "Hey man, I’m spooky as always. Brand new. How about you?"
SD: "Hey, doin’ pretty good. How did Marilyn Manson & The Spooky Kids originate?"

Side B is also noticeably more degraded than side A, suggesting a different lineage, with more noise and some kind of pilot tone at 16 kHz.
