A photograph of Charles Manson (top) and Eddie Ragsdale, (a friend of Manson), sent by Charles Manson to Manuel Vasquez during the week of August 12, 2012. The photograph was taken during the 1980's at Vacaville State Prison. Vasquez has produced a Charles Manson album and he sells it in his store which he co–owns, "Beauty is Pain Boutique." The music on the album reflects Manson's own description of his guitar playing that was recorded in the 1980's on a room above the prison chapel at the Vacaville Prison medical center. Manson later gave the tape recording to a friend who eventually gave it to a third person. After years of "badgering" that person for it, Vasquez obtained it last year. Vasquez turned to the funding website Kickstarter to raise several thousand dollars to pay to have the album cover printed and 500 copies of the record pressed. In the six weeks that the album has been out, Vasquez has sold about 200 of them. Vasquez said Manson's trial is what motivated him to release the now 77–year–old inmate's music.
