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.

Side A featured tracks speculated to be re-recordings of tracks from The Raw Boned Psalms, as it was common for the Spooky Kids to include re-recordings on their follow-ups. 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 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.

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, allegedly for over $1000.
