This is the ESP-Disk' version .. Not the Prison Version (Original)..And not a later reprint

In 1968, Phil Kaufman, who had met Manson in prison, moved in briefly with Manson and his "Family". Kaufman continually urged Manson to record some of his songs.[3]

While Manson was being held on the Tate-LaBianca charges, he told Kaufman "please put out my music." According to Kaufman, Manson phoned him five days a week, even though he was allowed only three phone calls per day. Manson was "very anxious for his music to be heard."[3]

After established record companies declined to become involved, Kaufman raised $3000 and pressed 2000 copies of an album entitled Lie: The Love and Terror Cult.[3] Consisting of recordings made from 1967 to 1969, the album contained thirteen songs.[3] These included "Cease to Exist", a song the Beach Boys had recorded in modified form as "Never Learn Not to Love".[4] Each of the original 2000 copies came with a poster that was put out by "A Joint Venture" and that bore signatures of many prisoners and inmates, all supporting Manson and the Family.[citation needed]

The album was released March 6, 1970.[5] It was distributed on the West Coast, by the same people who did the first underground album, Great White Wonder, a collection of pirated Bob Dylan tapes.[3] Over the next couple of months, only about three hundred copies were sold. Having supposedly failed to recover his investment, Kaufman signed an agreement with New-York-based ESP-Disk to distribute the album nationally.[3]
