The Beaver Meat Cleaver Beat (sometimes incorrectly referred to as The Meat Beat Cleaver Beat) is a demo 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 ("Strange Same Dogma" and "White Knuckles") 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.
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.
