The myth that the studios shunned him over talend issues is laughable. Terry Melcher was seen talking to Manson at the Fountain of the World after the killings, so they were still negotiating then.
When Manson shot Lotsapoppa, an associate of Melcher, Dennis Wilson, Greg Jakobson, etc, another associate Bryan Lukashevsky went back and told them. That is why they severed ties with Manson, not talent.
Beach Boys writer/producer Greg Jakobson:
"If Charlie had come up twenty years later, with MTV, he would have been a natural. He was a magic man, and in those days magic was allowed. Hanging out with him was an event, though you could only take so much of him, because he was always on, always on the move."
Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson:
"Then Mr. Manson and I went into the studio and recorded around 45 minutes of elegiac chamber music, with a string quintet and a pianist. Mr. Manson contributed the finest lyrics imaginable. Alas, after the ‘incidents’ inextricably linked with the life and times of mr. Manson and his merry troupe of friends, I got orders from the highest quarters to burn the master tapes. Sad, don’t you think?"
Beach Boys’ Dennis Wilson:
"Charlie - recently come out of jail after 12 years. His mother was a hooker, his father was a gangster. He drifted into crime, but when I met him I found that he has great musical ideas. We’re writing together now."
Brooks Poston on Terry Melcher and Manson:
"Melcher was at a taping session at the ranch and they were stoned and he (Melcher) got down on his knees in front of Charlie and said, “You’re gonna kill me.” And Charlie said, “No man, you can’t program me to do that.” Melcher kept saying it and finally Charlie ran him off with a knife."
