startlingly remastered at abbey road, two of moondogs key albums, and a kind of summation of his work throughout the 1950s, when he was homeless and performing on the streets of new york. this is moondog at his most direct, original, fresh, playful and let-it-be-said unpretentious featuring the honking geese, tony schwartzs brilliant outdoors recordings (particularly improved in this new version), with interventions from a ships foghorn, a tapdancer and a cocker spaniel, and signature rhythms for trimba, oo, tuji, yukh, and ostrich feathers. andy warhols mother got it straight, on the original prestige cover of story - "moondog is a poet who versifies in sound, a diarist overcome by love, curiosity and amusement by everything that reaches his ears, all of which he transposes into a symphony of himself. it may be the roar from the streets; it may be the casual chatter in a room or, best of all, it will be that secret music that seeps through imagination and memory. these experiences, so dull to the dull but so alive to him, he orchestrates into a record of those enchanting conversations everyone can hold with himself would he only listen for a bemused moment. they make up the script of that unique tragi-comedy, the story of anyones life. pricking up our ears would be so easy, yet it is seldom done. but when moondog compels us to do it, we are entranced and delivered willingly into new worlds of meaning."

Both albums on 1 CD, otherwise available individually on vinyl.
