Buckingham Nicks, the only studio album by Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks as a duo, will be reissued for the first time in September.
Released in 1973, the 10-track album was recorded at Sound City Studios in Los Angeles and was produced by Keith Olsen. Famously, in late 1974, Mick Fleetwood visited Sound City while scouting studios to record Fleetwood Mac’s next album and Olsen played him ‘Frozen Love’. This resulted in an offer from Mick for Buckingham to join Fleetwood Mac, which of course happened but Lindsey insisted that Stevie Nicks come too.
Buckingham Nicks will be available on CD – for the first time – and on ‘baby blue’ coloured vinyl, an Amazon exclusive yellow coloured vinyl and a Rhino exclusive High Fidelity pressing. The audio has been sourced from the original analog master tapes for its CD and vinyl release (remastered by Chris Bellman).
Buckingham Nicks will be released on 12 September via Rhino.

Lindsay Buckingham and some chick that sounds like a goat. A woman who Buckingham fell on his sword to have join the group and who repaid him years later by getting him fired from said group.
Here come the curmudgeons.
Christine’s voice was so much better than Nicks. Shame she passed away too early.
Terrific, unappreciated album. Despite the comments to the contrary here.
Christie McVie’s writing was so much better too. I really miss that voice.
The comments are less about the record than about her. People seizing on an opportunity to defecate on her. She’s never been a favorite of mine, but I feel no urge to trash her either.
Always thought so also. Stevie always sounded like she was singing into a fan. 🤷♂️
“save your money.
I heard it back in the day.
It sucks.”
Ditto that.
No 8 Track no sale.
I have an 8 Track player.
Billy goat.
You beat me to it. Vibrato, like a spice in a dish, should be used sparingly and judiciously.
Somehow, I've never listened to a single song off this album.
And I'm not being snide either. I truly love the first two Fleetwood Mac albums with Buckingham and Nicks.
Isn’t it funny the only real lessons we get to learn about the past is generally etched in stone. How many have been completely forgotten we will not ever know.
I still have one as well. One of the very few pieces I still have from the vinyl era.
Here come the curmudgeons.
Ain’t that the truth 🤬🤬🤬🤬
“I have the original LP”
I as well and I have tracked down a few more and sold them at a good premium.
Rhino records is being disingenuous, this LP was reissued in the USA in 1977/78 and 1981. The cat # didn’t change and the layman probably wouldn’t pick up on the differences in the label print and deadwax matrix number variations to distinguish the differences.
Count me in - or out as the case may be. I’ll not sully my Magneplanar 3.7i speakers with such.
“Count me in - or out as the case may be. I’ll not sully my Magneplanar 3.7i speakers with such”
What do you play on those $7000 speakers? Must be pretty amazing, and no doubt similar quality components driving them.
I regret to say that I had to sell my BelCanto stack when times grew tight, but I recently got a near mint Sony STR V5 receiver at auction for $140. It has a lovely warmth to its sonic profile. I have a couple of different turntables with decent phono cartridges and a Nakamichi CD player. All in all, not a bad system.
It’s a very dull album. Remember that Mick Fleetwood invited only Buckingham to join his band after hearing this album, not Nicks. It was Buckingham who insisted on her joining as well.
