'Buckingham Nicks' was a record store holy grail for decades. It's finally getting reissued
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- They were in love once. Four years before Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours' became one of the best breakup records of the 1970s — and, many might say, all time — Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham were relative unknowns, a young couple putting out their own album, posing nude on the cover like a Laurel Canyon version of Adam and Eve. Released as 'Buckingham Nicks,' the 1973 album has for decades maintained somewhat of a holy grail status in the dusty bins of record stores, selling for $20 to $90 depending on its condition. Now, in addition to new vinyl, it will be available on streaming and CD for the first time when it's reissued Sept. 19 on Rhino, Warner Music Group announced Wednesday. 'It's one of those records that everybody has heard of but not that many people have actually heard,' said Brian Mansfield, a music historian, journalist and record collector in Nashville, Tennessee. 'Especially before everything got put onto YouTube, very few people had heard it because it had never been on CD. But it had this iconic cover that everybody recognized.' 'Buckingham Nicks' featured the duo's iconic harmonies and Buckingham's distinct guitar sound, which later fueled Fleetwood Mac's ability to sell tens of millions of records. But 'Buckingham Nicks' bombed upon release and Polydor dropped them from the label, prompting Nicks' return to waitressing and Buckingham to briefly tour with Don Everly. The rest of the story is enshrined in lore: Drummer Mick Fleetwood heard 'Frozen Love' from the album when he visited the studio where it was recorded, Sound City. After guitarist Bob Welch left the band, Fleetwood invited Buckingham to Fleetwood Mac, with Buckingham insisting Nicks join too. The band also included the late Christine McVie on keyboards and John McVie on bass. Generations of avid Fleetwood Mac fans have tattooed their lyrics or analyzed them at a forensic level, enshrining the tumultuous relationship between Buckingham and Nicks in pop culture. The upcoming reissue of 'Buckingham Nicks' is a reminder of the couple's musical beginnings and the special status their only joint album has held among fans and record collectors. 'As soon as we put it out, it goes that day,' said Michael Bell, owner of Hunky Dory Records, which has locations in Raleigh, Durham and Cary, North Carolina. Nicks and Buckingham met during high school at a local church in Northern California where young musicians gathered on a school night, according to Stephen Davis' 'Gold Dust Woman: The Biography of Stevie Nicks.' Buckingham played the Mamas & the Papas' 'California Dreamin'" on piano, prompting Nicks to chime in, singing Michelle Phillips' high harmony. 'They glanced at each other; she noticed his eyes, cold blue like lake ice," Davis wrote. "They sang the whole song while the room went quiet, everyone mesmerized.' After high school, Nicks joined the band Buckingham was in, Fritz, which would open for Creedence Clearwater Revival, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. They eventually split off as a duo, started dating and moved to Los Angeles. Nicks said she loved Buckingham before he was a millionaire, according to Davis' book, and 'washed his jeans and embroidered stupid moons and stars on the bottom of them.' The first track on 'Buckingham Nicks,' 'Crying in the Night," has 'a sense of Joni Mitchell fronting the Eagles,' Davis wrote. 'Frozen Love' closed out side two, with 'layers of strings and synthesizers and a major Lindsey Buckingham rock guitar symphony." 'No one seemed to like the record,' Davis wrote. 'Polydor executives hadn't even wanted to release it." A review that ran in The Pittsburgh Press said Nicks and Buckingham produced "a pleasant, albeit a whiny vocal blend on some pretty fair songs.' 'And if you don't like the record,' the review concluded, 'you might like the costumes they're wearing on the cover — a couple of those oh-so-chic birthday suits.' Interest in the record only grew following the new Fleetwood Mac lineup. That incarnation's first record in 1975, 'Fleetwood Mac,' contained the songs 'Landslide,' 'Rhiannon' and 'Monday Morning.' 'Rumours' came two years later. Bob Fuchs, retail manager of record store Electric Fetus in Minneapolis, said the shop gets in about two to four of the original vinyl a year. Those go on on its collectible wall that showcases hard-to-find titles. Depending on its condition, the album sells for between $40 to $90, he said. 'You put it up on a Saturday morning and it's gone by Saturday at noon. So it lasts about two hours,' he said. Fuchs never bought the album himself because, 'every time I came in, it was $60 or $80. ... So I'll probably end up picking up a reissue.' Across the river at the St. Paul, Minnesota, location of Cheapo Discs, though, worker Geoff Good said people rarely came in looking for the original. He does expect the reissue to juice sales. He has the original, which he bought in 1974 or 1975, in his own collection. 'The songwriting is really good, the harmonies are good, Lindsey Buckingham is an amazing guitar player,' he said. Mansfield, the Nashville historian, randomly found a copy two weeks ago in a neighborhood garage sale, just days prior to hints that a reissue was coming. He has no idea why 'Buckingham Nicks' hasn't been reissued more considering the steady demand. For him, it's a good album but not one that reached the heights of what was to come. 'It's definitely not there yet,' he said. 'I don't know that there's anything on this album that would have made a Fleetwood album.' The romantic relationship between Buckingham and Nicks would end around the making of 'Rumours.' Nicks and Buckingham would shoot eye daggers at each other onstage in packed stadiums, while Buckingham would roll his eyes during Nicks' MusiCares speech in 2018, according to the Los Angeles Times. Buckingham would eventually be kicked off the band's tour in 2018 , prompting a lawsuit that was later settled. But this month, Buckingham and Nicks seemed to be operating in perfect symmetry — at least on Instagram. Each posted half a line from 'Frozen Love,' — with Nicks writing "And if you go forward…' and Buckingham responding, 'I'll meet you there.' On Wednesday, they shared the same video of a billboard being put up to advertise the reissue of 'Buckingham Nicks.' They may have made the album more than 50 years ago, Buckingham said in announcing its reissue, 'but it stands up in a way you hope it would, by these two kids who were pretty young to be doing that work.'

Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham announce reissue of their first album together. Take a look back at their tumultuous relationship.
"Buckingham Nicks" is the duo's only studio album from before they joined Fleetwood Mac. Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham announced on Wednesday that their 1973 album Buckingham Nicks will be reissued for the first time since the 1980s. The album will be released across all platforms on Sept. 19. Buckingham Nicks was the duo's only album release before they joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975. As of reporting, the single 'Crying in the Night' from the remastered album is already available to stream on Spotify and Apple Music. 'It stands up in a way you would hope it would, by these two kids who were pretty young to be doing that work,' Buckingham said about the album. On Monday, fans got excited after a billboard showcasing the Buckingham Nicks album cover appeared on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, less than two weeks after Fleetwood Mac celebrated its 50th anniversary. To reissue an album is a process that adjusts the sound and quality of older music for modern platforms. Rhino, the album catalogue division under Warner Music Group, says the reissued music was sourced from the original analog tapes and will now be available for fans to listen to digitally and on CDs for the first time, the Associated Press reported. Rhino is also releasing 5,000 vinyl copies and 2,000 special edition vinyl copies, which will include replica 7-inch vinyl singles for three of the songs. The announcement also comes a few days after Nicks and Buckingham posted lyrics from 'Frozen Love' off the Buckingham Nicks album on their social media accounts. The posts prompted speculation that some sort of collaboration might be in the works, which came as something of a surprise for fans familiar with the pair's tumultuous romantic history. In an October 2024 interview with Rolling Stone, Nicks said the last time she spoke to Buckingham was at Fleetwood Mac member Christine McVie's funeral in 2022. Nicks said the conversation lasted 'about three minutes.' 'I dealt with Lindsey for as long as I could," Nicks told the magazine. "You could not say that I did not give him more than 300 million chances.' In anticipation of the upcoming Buckingham Nicks reissue, here's a look back at the 57-year relationship between the two singers. Nicks's and Buckingham's relationship history: Before, during and after Fleetwood Mac Nicks and Buckingham first met in high school in 1968 in Northern California, when the pair were in a psychedelic rock band called Fritz with some of their classmates. Fritz broke up in 1972, after years of opening for performers like Ike and Tina Turner, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, and Nicks and Buckingham decided to move to Los Angeles together to continue pursuing music careers. While in L.A., they started dating and, in 1972, released their joint album, Buckingham Nicks. According to Nicks, it was about a year later, around 1973, that their relationship started to face some hurdles. "When we moved [to Los Angeles], it was lonely. I didn't have any girlfriends. And I was the one who worked," Nicks said in a September 2014 interview with Billboard. "I had to be a waitress, and a cleaning lady, in order to support us.' In December 1974, the couple officially joined Fleetwood Mac. Nicks told the New Yorker in 2022 that the two had thought about breaking up before joining the band, but once Fleetwood Mac was in the picture, she wanted to save the relationship. "We'd only been in Fleetwood Mac for a year and a half, and we were breaking up when we joined Fleetwood Mac,' Nicks told the New Yorker. 'So we just put our relationship kind of back together, because I was smart enough to know that, if we had broken up the second month of being in Fleetwood Mac, it would have blown the whole thing.' The couple stayed together until 1976, which is when the relationship 'blew up,' as Nicks described in her Billboard interview. The breakup happened right as Fleetwood Mac was recording their second album, Rumours, for which Nicks wrote the song 'Silver Springs' about their relationship. Before the album came out in early 1977, band members Mick Fleetwood and Buckingham told Nicks the song wouldn't be on the main track list but on the B-side of the album. (Meanwhile, Buckingham's song about his own breakup with Nicks, 'Go Your Own Way,' was featured on the album.) In 1990, Nicks left the band due to frustration over fighting over the rights to 'Silver Springs,' according to Rolling Stone. Seven years later, Fleetwood Mac would reunite for the live album, The Dance, where 'Silver Springs' was featured on the main track list and would later earn a Grammy nomination. Even though it had been over a decade since they broke up, Nicks would sing 'Silver Springs' directly to Buckingham on stage during The Dance tour in 1997, rather than to the audience. (Nearly 30 years later, clips showing Nicks's 'Silver Springs' performance went viral on TikTok, and Buckingham even acknowledged them with his own video.) The last public fight between the couple was in 2018 when Buckingham was kicked out of Fleetwood Mac. The reasoning seemed ambiguous until Buckingham did a September 2021 interview with People magazine and said, 'Stevie basically gave the band an ultimatum that I either had to go or she would go.' Nicks denied Buckingham's claims and told People, 'I did not demand he be fired. Frankly, I fired myself. I proactively removed myself from the band, a situation I considered to be toxic to my well-being.' Solve the daily Crossword

'Buckingham Nicks' was not the Fleetwood Mac reunion we hoped for
On-again, off-again, they can't quit each other and we can't quit them. Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, two sides of a tempestuous love affair that once fueled the fame of rock group Fleetwood Mac, are re-releasing for the first time their 1973 album "Buckingham Nicks." Before they joined forces with the likes of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie to form the Fleetwood Mac that delivered "Rumors," the pair were part of a duo that combined their last names and artistic styles, marking the start of a decades-long chemistry on and off the stage. After teasing a reunion earlier this month with a pair of cryptic social media posts, the signature situationship of the '70s announced July 23 that they would reissue "Buckingham Nicks" on Sept. 19, sourcing the old-made-new album from the original analog master tapes. The project will be available in both vinyl and CD form, as well as on streaming platforms. Legend has it that Fleetwood, during a trip to Sound City studios in Los Angeles, heard "Frozen Love," a track off the album, and was so impressed by it that he later offered Buckingham a spot in Fleetwood Mac when guitarist Bob Welch left the group. Buckingham reportedly insisted that he and Nicks were a package deal, leading the duo to sign on in 1974 for what would ultimately become the most successful musical stint of their careers. After 50 years, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham create new rumors "(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 is quoted as saying in the liner notes, according to Rhino, the re-issue arm of Warner Music. Buckingham added, "But it stands up in a way you hope it would, by these two kids who were pretty young to be doing that work." While the news may keep die-hard fans fed, those hoping for new music out of Buckingham and Nicks, or Fleetwood Mac as a whole, may have to keep waiting. The lyrics they posted on social media earlier this month, sparking rumors of a reunion, combined to form a line from "Frozen Love," which, along with the nine other tracks that make up the album, represent their first and only joint venture.
