I had a chance to actually BUY a copy of that thing while I was in broadcast school in Minneapolis...but the creepiness of the whole thing PLUS the idea of giving ol' Charlie my money kept me from doing it...

I had never heard of this. I checked it out on Wikipedia. Apparently the actual title was:

Lie: The Love and Terror Cult . The scary thing is that one of the tracks, "Cease To Exist" was taken by Dennis Wilson and reworked into the song "Never Learn Not to Love," which appeared on the Beach Boys' 20/20 album.
