Don't know if this helps.
Just found this on a site from a record store out of Chicago:

A long-overdue tribute to the legendary Moondog -- one of the true  
visionaries of American music in the 20th Century! Moondog got his  
starts as a blind musician working the streets of New York at the end  
of the 40s, but he did so (as you'll note on the cover photo) with a  
range of unusual instruments of his own invention, and in a minimal,  
rhythmic style that linked together primitivism with higher musical  
ideals. Moondog's often been called "the father of minimalism" -- and  
while his experiments of the 50s prefaced the work of Steve Reich,  
Terry Riley, and others, his work was also much more personal, and  
had an earthy intensity that's still tremendously powerful even  
decades later! This collection is one of the first to dip into the  
earliest of Moondog's recordings -- his recordings for the Mars, SRC,  
Brunswick, and Moondog labels -- which are presented here alongside  
selected tracks from his albums for Epic and Prestige, also of  
similar vintage. Nearly all the tracks here offer a very primitive  
blend of percussion that's sometimes mixed with unusual woodwind or  
stringed instruments -- nearly all of Moondog's own invention -- and  
the package also features some great notes on his long career, plus  
some photos that are as gripping as the music itself! Titles include  
"Down Is Up", "Big Cat", "Bumbo", "Rimshot", "Rabbit Hop",  
"Instrumental Round", "Be A Hobo", "Dog Trot", "Oasis", "2 W 46th  
Street", and "Why Spend The Dark Night With You"
