Released in September 1957 on Prestige Records, The Story of Moondog is a fascinating, fragmented artifact of mid-century avant-garde music. Created by Louis Thomas Hardin—the blind, legendary street musician known as "The Viking of 6th Avenue"—the album acts as a sonic diary of New York City. It bridges the worlds of third-stream jazz, minimalism, and raw field recordings.

Artwork designed by Andy Warhol. As a graphic artist Warhol began designing album covers in the 1950s for Jazz discs on Blue Note Records before he bacame famous.
