For the first installment of the Audio Archives, we are going back to Friday, October 3rd, 1969, when Brooks Poston was interviewed by Inyo County Sheriff Don Ward. This interview -- made exactly one week before the first Barker Ranch raid, and a full month and a half before Vincent Bugliosi was even assigned the Tate/LaBianca case -- is perhaps the earliest recorded description of Manson's philosophies, including Helter Skelter.
The original analog reel-to-reel recording speeds up and down. We have attempted to correct this, but due to its gradual effect, the end result is still far from perfect.
