5 out of 5 stars Readhead in the Head.......2007-02-12

Not Manson's best work, but indispensable for completists. More of a fast technopunk sound (Atari Teenage Riot, even Rage Against the Machine) than the more atmospheric work post-Reznor collaboration. Evokes "Down in the Park" and choicecuts from Holywood (Burning Flag, King Kill 33, etc.). Younger listeners might be scared as this rivals live offerings from Alice Cooper and Kiss, which influence the record's sound. The accompanying DVD features a live performance of "Choklit Cows" (c. '92?), where Manson, the emerging frontman, shows some theatre tricks.

2 out of 5 stars Somewhat released for money.......2006-05-16

You could say that Daisy released this thing for money, or you could say he released it so that fans could enjoy it. But in the long run, this is a CD solely for fanatics and is too short and/or boring. Only 10 songs? There is a whole list of songs to choose from that could have taken up the rest of the space. I really only like White knuckles and one of the other songs here. I have a rare bootleg/import thing that my friend found in Israel (of all places), titled Demos in my lunchbox vol. 1, and has 15 songs and more consistency then this. Why weren't the demos for Cake and Sodomy, Lunchbox, Intro/Misery Machine, included or the song Luci in the sky with demons?

The bonus DVD has barely any content what so ever and only contains live footage, and is overdubbed with music from the CD. (I admit it is cool to see Gidget Gein playing Bass in the band though.) Manson and Gacy had taken Daisy to court over this thing because he used Manson's artwork without permission, as a result there is a rare first edition (or whatever) with a different cover featuring drawings of the band members as well as a galley on the DVD, that were both removed shortly after the laws suit. So as a Manson fanatic, I picked this up as a collector's item and that's the only real reason you should either. This was supposed to be part 1 of a 2 CD set and because of the lawsuit I doubt that the second set will ever be released. Look on eBay and find the Demos in my lunchbox for a better collection of Early Manson Demos though.

5 out of 5 stars Grab this one WHILE YOU CAN!.......2005-12-01

This came out in early 04. I quickly emailed the company to ask when Vol.2 was coming out. He told me it was on hold since "Brian Warner" (that's Marylin's real name, folks) was suing him for releasing these recordings withOUT his permission. (It was former guitarist Daisy who was behind this release.) I later saw on Manson official www site that this CD was being pulled. Too bad- this not only sounds like a rough blueprint for what was to follow ("American Family", "Superstar") but it is actually more accessible than most of their albums. Like a psudo-techno version of the Misfits crossed with Alice Cooper "Choklit Cows" would make a good into to Marylin's main body of work, especially "negative three" and "thrift".
You can see this is NOT availible directly through Amazon but via the "Marketplace" sellers. This is, at the moment, the ONLY way you'll be able to snag this incredible CD. Grab it now! (Here's hoping Vol.2- with "Lucy in the sky with DEMONS"- will get a release after all!)
