Beauty is a tape cassette of music released by Jeff Mangum under the Neutral Milk Hotel name in 1992. Like Invent Yourself a Shortcake, this tape was not intended for wide distribution, instead copies were likely to have been circulated amongst Jeff's friends, which is typical of many early Elephant 6-related 'albums' (there are similar early recordings by bands who would later become Marbles, The Olivia Tremor Control, The Sunshine Fix and Chocolate U.S.A. among others). The first five tracks of the tape are acoustic recordings, and feature Engine, which would later find official release on the Holland, 1945 7", and Gardenhead/Leave Me Alone, which in a faster mix would feature on On Avery Island, as well as the live favourite Sailing Through.
