Contains recitals by Manson of well-known works, a reading from The Holy Bible as well as impromptu performances in his own distinctive style.... For the first time Manson's poetry is made available to the public in this comprehensive collection.

Here he addresses the issues of the day, ripped directly from the headlines; O.J. Simpson and prisoners' rights, the Rodney King controversy, his own feelings about ecology, world peace, racism, common misconceptions about him, ethical problems within the prison system and many other topics.

Manson Speaks is the first collection of spoken word material by Charles Manson ever released. It is an audio self-portrait which may surprise many listeners. Many have said that Manson possesses a 'dangerous' philosophy and until now public exposure to this philosophy has chiefly been in the form of heavily-edited interviews. Manson Speaks is a two record set containing over two hours of voice recordings and each disk contains different types of material.
