The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of (album)

The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of is a two-CD album of blues, country, and old-time music recordings that were originally released in the 1920s and 1930s on 78 rpm records. Subtitled The Dead Sea Scrolls of Record Collecting, it is a compilation of songs from rare and hard-to-find records. It was released in 2006.

The cover of The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of is the size and shape of a DVD box. The cover art is by Robert Crumb, a noted cartoonist and an avid collector of vintage 78 rpm records. The album also includes a 20-page illustrated booklet.

According to the liner notes, the album was remastered using only a moderate level of noise reduction, with the goal of preserving as much as possible of the character and dynamic range of the original recordings. As a result, some of the songs exhibit a considerable amount of noise due to surface wear and damaged grooves on the shellac phonograph records.
