'''''The Beaver Meat Cleaver Beat''''' (sometimes incorrectly referred to as ''The Meat Beat 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 "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, along with two songs performed live on-air.

==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 &mdash; the first copy discovered to exist &mdash; was sold in an online auction. It was purchased by an anonymous collector in Japan, allegedly for over $1000.
