Manson was a struggling pop musician, seeking to make it big in Hollywood between 1967 and 1969. The [[Beach Boys]] recorded one of his songs. Other songs were publicly released only after the trial for the Tate murders started. On March 6, 1970, ''[[Lie: The Love and Terror Cult|LIE]]'', an album of Manson music, was released.{{sfn|Bugliosi|Gentry|1974|p=258-269}}<ref>[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000005X1J ''Lie: The Love And Terror Cult''] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080228180319/http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000005X1J |date=February 28, 2008}}.
