THE MANSON FAMILY- AN OPERA

you want strange?
you want to recite the coolest quotes ever to find their way to your radio?
you want to be the hit of the party when they ask for obscure albums?
plain and simple... do you want genius?
well here you go!
i first came across this gem of all gems courtesy of an ex and the pick 'n' save in fontana.
oh yes.
it was in pick 'n' save (now big lots) that this tape was purchased for 1.99 in '97 .
and its been amazing and spooking this shit out of me ever since.
john moran, the young mastermind of this masterpiece, was only 24 when he was commissioned to make this by the lincoln center of performanig arts nyc!
this album is john moran's interpretation of the events that were caused by charles manson and his accomplices.
tracks like "subject: the beatles", "subject: lynette (squeaky) fromme" and "subject: charles manson (at spahns ranch)" are movments that still puzzle my head.
just amazing.

when amoeba records opened up in hollywood i was like," ok. let's see how cool this record store is. if i find the manson family- an opera than its a sick store."
first thing i see as i walk in the used section!
this time for .99 cents!
one of the happiest days ever.
