Released on Sept. 5, 1973, the original Buckingham Nicks was recorded at Sound City in Los Angeles. When the album flopped, they were dropped by Polydor. Nicks began working at a Beverly Hills restaurant called Clementine's, until Buckingham Nicks producer Keith Olsen played the album for Mick Fleetwood — and the rest is history.
'[We] knew what we had as a duo, two songwriters that sang really well together. And it was a very natural thing, from the beginning,' Nicks tells Rolling Stone contributor David Fricke in the liner notes.
'It stands up in a way you hope it would, by these two kids who were pretty young to be doing that work,' Buckingham added.
Buckingham Nicks (Rhino High Fidelity) is limited to 5,000 copies, with a special edition of 2,000 copies that includes a replica of two 7-inch singles: 'Crying in the Night' b/w 'Stephanie' and 'Don't Let Me Down Again' b/w 'Races Are Run.' In addition, the album will be available digitally and on CD, as well as on vinyl from select retailers.
In December 2012, Buckingham and Nicks spoke to Rolling Stone about the album and the possibility of a tour behind it, which fans have spent years hoping for. The interviews were conducted separately over the phone, about a week apart, with Nicks revealing that they'd recently recorded an outtake from the 1973 album that got 'brushed under the carpet' all those years ago. 'Next year is the 40th anniversary of Buckingham Nicks, and we're hoping next year to get the record out,' she said at the time. 'People have been waiting forever. Fleetwood Mac is totally good with us doing that. They know.'
She also spoke about the possibility of a tour featuring the musicians who played on the record, including her longtime guitarist Waddy Wachtel and drummer Jim Keltner. 'We would actually go onstage and do the complete Buckingham Nicks album … It would be trippy for Lindsey and I to revisit those songs,' she said.
Buckingham agreed, though he pointed out that any shows would have to wait until their next world tour with Fleetwood Mac concluded; he felt that it was 'logistically impossible' to do it between tour legs. 'Stevie, if you're serious about touring behind Buckingham Nicks, let's wait,' he said. 'I've been saying to Stevie for years that we should revisit Buckingham Nicks. I know there's a market for it … I think something elevated happens with the two of us and there's an interest in that … It's a bit of an intangible. But I've been saying that for years. To me, if you're going to do it, do it properly.'
Will now be that time? One can dream.

Jessie J Has ‘No Cancer Spread' Following Mastectomy: ‘Happy Tears Are Real'
Jessie J is on the road to recovery after completing surgery following an early breast cancer diagnosis. The singer-songwriter shared an update on Instagram following her mastectomy, revealing that the cancer did not spread. 'Results = I have NO cancer spread,' Jessie wrote, followed by a string of crying emojis. 'Happy tears are real. Thank YOU for the prayers, the love, the well wishes, the joy and all the positive energy.' The caption accompanied a video of her son, Sky, learning to say 'Mommy's gonna be OK.' More from Rolling Stone Jessie J Hopes Her Breast Cancer Is 'All Gone' Following Surgery Jessie J Shares the 'Honest Lows and Highs' After Undergoing Breast Cancer Surgery Jessie J Played a Show Right After 5 Breast Biopsies: 'I Didn't Want to Cancel' 'This video is from the night before my surgery,' she wrote in her caption. 'We called it baby boy. You are my biggest ray of light and with you in my life the darkness will never win.' Following the surgery in late June, Jessie said that one of the biggest pitfalls of the experience was 'not being able to be the mum I'm used to being and not picking Sky up,' as well as 'the fear of not knowing if the cancer is all gone.' Prior to the procedure, the singer shared an emotional video in which she cried at the thought of hearing her son say he loves her and not being able to say it back. Jessie is celebrating her victory, but still has a ways to go before she's fully recovered. 'Lots of healing to go and one more surgery to make these cousins look more like sisters,' she wrote. 'But for now it's gratitude time and I am changing my name to The LopJess monster.' When Jessie revealed her diagnosis, she mentioned that she was 'not processing it because I'm working so hard.' In a separate post shared in June, she looked back on a live performance she completed right after she had undergone several breast biopsies in private. 'I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories,' she said.
