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 $115 for his troubles ($5 per song). The CD entitled The Debut Sessions (pictured below right) contains the same material, minus the songs "Oh I Wonder" and "On Time".
