The record
Fourteen miniatures with titles that tell you where Moondog's head was -- '5/8 In Two Shades', 'Trimbas In Quarters' -- odd meters and rounds worked out in small forms rather than stretched into blowing vehicles. Prestige issued it in 1957 as PRLP 7099, with Andy Warhol credited for the cover.
