Unsolicited Package...Help Us Solve This Mystery!


Yesterday an unsolicited package arrived at Third Man Records. Here's the shipping info:



Inside the box were 30 copies of this record:



It's a one-sided 7" featuring the song "Young Girl" as performed by Paul Watkins and Brooks Poston. Both men were members of the Manson Family and the performance itself is taken from the unreleased soundtrack to the 1972 documentary "Manson." The label is listed as Helter Skelter and the record is catalog # HS 666.

Anyone have any clues about the brains behind this one? We're dying to know.

  1. Well, the sender has used the Cielo address but it was mailed from Brooklyn. Also, I'd buy one...

  5. The label appears to be printed from a home computer not from the post office or a self-serve kiosk at the post office.

    If that's the case it should have a unique ID # that corresponds to an online Postage Provider Account. The sender appears to have used Endicia for this package.

    You should be able to track it to the account holder with the help of the USPS if you want to bother with it.

  8. i don't get the obsession with Manson. there are a lot more talented nuts in the world who didn't try to start a race war by brainwashing followers to commit brutal murders.
    if you see or hear this guy you'd know there's nothing funny about him.
