46-Track Collection Culled From The 1920s Contains Rare Tracks From Charley Patton, Bukka White, Ishman Bracey, Dave Macon, Eck Robertson and Charlie Poole

54-Page Booklet Chronicles The History of Collecting Old 78 Records From The 1920s Through The 1960s


New York, NY: On October 16, 2012, Yazoo Records (a division of Shanachie Entertainment), will release the ultimate collection of early country and blues recordings, with the illustrious 2-CD set, The Return Of The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of.

This Dead Sea Scroll of record collecting will delight both the connoisseur and neophyte who are sure to relish this goldmine of rare and lost treasures presented in one remarkable undertaking. The highly anticipated, rare and impeccably packaged collection is a follow up to Yazoo's lauded 2006 recording, The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of, which was likened to the 'holy grail' for record collectors by everyone from Rolling Stone to NPR.

Set in a beautifully packaged oversized DVD digipack and adorned by a wildly eye-catching caricature cover (pictured below) by award-winning illustrator Drew Friedman, The Return Of The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of highlights 46 tracks culled from the 1920s. The music captured in the set features astounding performances from iconic Delta bluesmen like Charley Patton, Bukka White and Ishman Bracey, cajun fiddler Dennis McGee, country fiddler Eck Robertson, 'The Dixie Dewdrop' banjo player Dave Macon, North Carolinian banjo legend Charlie Poole and numerous others. Audiophiles will take notice of the stellar sound quality presented in the tracks as many re-mastered selections have an incredibly modern sound to them.

The Return Of The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of includes an extensive 54-page booklet with rare photographs and notes that chronicle the history of collecting old 78 records from beginning in the 1920s through the 1960s. The Dead Sea Scrolls of record collecting detailed in these pages mark the first time that this early history has been annotated so thoroughly with first time revelations from pioneer collectors themselves.

The release of The Return Of The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of is a major event for record collectors, enthusiasts and fans interested in the roots of blues and country music.

I received my copy yesterday (ordered it from John T's outfit: http://bluesimages.com/html/product_html/Yazoo-Special.html) and spent this afternoon listening and reading through the booklet. It's definitely a quality package and the remastering is top notch. The booklet is very interesting and provides some insight into the world of the collector. Thank goodness for these guys' obsessions--both the music and for the records themselves. Well worth the $20 or so I paid for it.

Glad to hear the remastering quality is impressive again. Worth pointing out too that old-time/country material has perhaps not been as well served in the CD era as blues, so good to have some more quality reissues.

Hi Andrew:

The mix of CB and old time/country is certainly well balanced, IMHO. There are a few ethnic sides as well. Packages like this always remind me that records are not just sound recordings of musical performances, but also records (in the other sense) of an important part of human culture and civilization, something to which we all belong and participate in.

It arrived this morning, just listening to Hambone Willie Newbern. NOw, I don't know much about this, but it sounds clear as day to me. I'm a bit old fashioned & tend to listen to albums in the programmed order, so I might have to wait until tomorrow for the Charley Patton numbers.

I don't have this album, can anyone tell me about Blind Blake's Sun To Sun and the alternate Willie Walker tune, Dupree Blues ?

Here's the Blind Blake Sun to Sun. The last missing Blake 78? The flip was Night and Day which makes it something of a concept album!
It's also on the 2009 Tefteller Calendar. I love the double time section!
