'''''The Beaver Meat Cleaver Beat''''' is the second cassette by [[Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids]]. Only a few copies were ever made, and the cassette was never sold; it was given away for promotional purposes.

This tape has been the cause for much speculation over the years. [[Daisy Berkowitz]] has said on several occasions that ''[[Big Black Bus]]'' was the first official Marilyn Manson & Spooky Kids cassette, further fueling the mystery behind ''The Beaver Meat Cleaver Beat'''s conception. In early 1990, only a couple of months after the founding of Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids, Daisy Berkowitz and [[Marilyn Manson]] entered the studio with producer [[Frank Falestra|Frank "Rat Bastard" Falestra]] to record a batch of demos. Two of the tracks ("[[White Knuckles]]" and "[[Strange Same Dogma]]") would see future release on an industrial compilation put together by Falestra titled ''[[The Funnel Zone]]''. These two tracks as well as six others would also be put together on a tape along with their first radio interview with DJ Scott David, dubbed ''The Beaver Meat Cleaver Beat''. Only a handful of copies were made, and they were released only to friends of the band, and to club owners for the purpose of booking shows.

Side A featured tracks speculated to be re-recordings of tracks from ''[[The Raw Boned Psalms]]'', as it was common for Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids to include re-recordings on the follow-up tapes. Side B contains a radio interview of the band conducted by Scott David in March 1990 for WKXP 88.5.
== Packaging ==
Like most early Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids recordings, ''The Beaver Meat Cleaver Beat'' came in a cassette case with photocopied sleeve artwork. The interior of the fold-out insert featured an altered photograph of Charles Manson with the body of a woman, surrounded by 1960s-style clip art: flowers, butterflies, praying hands, the American flag, etc. The front cover featured clip art handguns arranged to resemble a butterfly.

HELLo from the gutters of Fort LauderHELL that are filled with<br>
piss, shale urine and broken toys. HELLo from the clogged<br>
arteries of your abyssmal heart. "We" have come to "see"<br>
multiply like the tiny cockroaches in your closets; a bead<br>
alone can watch, a beaded necklace can strangle. The voice<br>
called: "Rise up Son of Man," and I came. The voice said to<br>
"gather." I did. You are here; the voice had known.<br>
With a purposeful grimace and a knife in hand we will spread<br>
our dogma across the land. Porn pierces paper flesh...ink in<br>
blood and maggots crawl through thin veins. OPPression<br>
from worry-fucks and sycophants only makes "The We"<br>
grow. Further above delivers ''[Unintelligible]'', ''[Unintelligible]'' below saturates our<br>
brains with chemical salvation. To complete the "trinity" our<br>
holy spirit must make the "word" be known to even the small-<br>
est of ears (in the hills and in the mountains.). That is "our and<br>
your" part.<br>
For now, it has been "discovered" and in turn you WILL feel<br>
"our" strength. Accept the acid eucharist as our taste of things<br>
to come and kneel to the wet, obscene god. Your scabbed<br>
knees tell no lies...

Love and I am,<br>
[[Marilyn Manson]]

== Trivia ==
* ''The Beaver Meat Cleaver Beat'' was considered a "phantom" release, with even [[Daisy Berkowitz]] claiming in a 1999 interview not to recognize its title. In 1997 an original cassette copy, owned by Miami's alternative club DJ Hypno5ive — the first copy discovered to exist — was sold in an online auction. It was purchased by an anonymous collector in Japan for $400.
* Three different versions/covers of ''The Beaver Meat Cleaver Beat'' exist.
