Lower caption = Same Material"Hollywood Dreamer" is a CD consisting of demos that Harry Nilsson recorded for Scott Turner in 1962, when he was still a struggling musician, whose regular job was working in a bank. He was reportedly paid $5 per song to sing vocals to Turner's acoustic guitar. The CD entitled "The Debut Sessions" (pictured below right) contains the same material, minus the songs "Oh I Wonder" and "On Time," but has been overdubbed by various studio musicians (including
Leon Russell ,Herb Alpert andHal Blaine ) in 1962, and then other songs were dubbed in 1977 and 1994. Originally, some of these songs were released on the album "Early Tymes," in 1977.Track listing
