'Buckingham Nicks', pre-Fleetwood Mac album, to be reissued

'Buckingham Nicks', pre-Fleetwood Mac album, to be reissued

NBC Newsa day ago
Well, now we know.
Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham's 1973 album 'Buckingham Nicks' will have its first ever re-issue.
The storied album will be reissued for the first time on Sept. 19 by Rhino High Fidelity five decades after its original release, Rhino, the reissue arm of Warner Music, announced Wednesday.
It was the only album the music icons had released as an American folk rock duo before they joined Fleetwood Mac, and went on to leave an indelible mark in music history.
It comes after Nicks and Buckingham shared cryptic posts on social media last week: matching excerpts from their 1973 hit 'Frozen Love.'
Sourced from the original analog master tapes, the album will be released on vinyl, CD and digital formats. There will be 5,000 individually numbered copies of the album cut by Kevin Gray from the original masters and pressed on 180-gram vinyl. A special version, limited to 2,000 copies, includes two replica 7-inch singles.
A testament to the pair's prowess and chemistry pre-Fleetwood, the album features 10 tracks including hits 'Crystal' and 'Don't Let Me Down Again,' that put on full display the artists' brain-scratching, cascading harmonies and immersive songwriting.
Their song "Crying in the Night" off the re-issue is already available for streaming.
The album had been recorded at Sound City Studios in Los Angeles, according to a press release for the announcement.
In late 1974 Mick Fleetwood visited Sound City while scouting studios to record Fleetwood Mac's next album, and 'Frozen Love' off 'Buckingham Nicks' was played for him, and caught the drummer's attention. Soon after the duo joined the band on New Year's Eve 1974, the press release said.
The Rhino High Fidelity edition of the album will include liner notes and quotes from the stars, written by longtime music journalist David Fricke.
'[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 was quoted as saying. Meanwhile, Buckingham noted they were inexperienced when they made the album, "but it stands up in a way you hope it would, by these two kids who were pretty young to be doing that work."

US FCC clears $8bn Skydance-Paramount merger

An $8bn (£5.9bn) merger between Paramount Global and Skydance Media has been approved by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC).The merger between the independent film studio and one of Hollywood's oldest and most storied companies was first announced in 2024. The approval came just weeks after Paramount Global agreed to pay $16m (£13.5m) to settle a legal dispute with US President Donald Trump over an interview it broadcast on subsidiary CBS with former Vice-President Kamala head Brendan Carr, who was appointed by the president, announced the merger's approval on Thursday, saying he welcomed Skydance's ideas to make "significant changes" at CBS. The FCC agreed to transfer broadcast licenses for 28 owned-and-operated CBS television stations to the new owner. "Americans no longer trust the legacy national news media to report fully, accurately, and fairly," Mr Carr said. "It is time for a change."Mr Carr said Skydance had made promises to the agency, including a "commitment to unbiased journalism" where the merged company would install a ombudsman to evaluate complaints of bias. Skydance also promised to end diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, something the Trump administration has targeted. The FCC voted 2-1 to approve the deal, with one commissioner, Anna Gomez, a Democrat, dissenting."After months of cowardly capitulation to this administration, Paramount finally got what it wanted. Unfortunately, it is the American public who will ultimately pay the price for its actions," she wrote. Paramount Global traces its origins back more than a century to the founding of Paramount Pictures Corporation in 1914. The studio has made many hit films, including the Godfather, Star Trek, and Mission: Impossible owns streaming service Paramount+, as well as Paramount Pictures, CBS, Nickelodeon, BET, MTV, Comedy Central and other media the entertainment giant has struggled over the past decade. Skydance is owned by David Ellison, the son of Larry Ellison, who founded US technology giant FCC's approval was necessary for the deal to move forward. The deal, which includes CBS, Paramount Pictures and Comedy Central, was approved after a series of moves by Paramount, including settling a lawsuit by US President Donald to both the Wall Street Journal and New York Times, the settlement over the 60 Minutes interview was agreed - with the help of mediator - so as to not affect the planned merger, which the FCC was reviewing and therefore Trump technically had the power to had alleged the network had deceptively edited an interview that aired on its 60 Minutes news programme with his presidential election rival Kamala Harris, to "tip the scales in favour of the Democratic party".Paramount said it would pay to settle the suit, but with the money allocated to Trump's future presidential library, not paid to him "directly or indirectly".It also comes just days after CBS, owned by Paramount, announced it would end The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, who has been critical of Trump. The network said the move "is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night [television]" and "is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters".

Popular picks for July: SEVEN RULES FOR A PERFECT MARRIAGE by Rebecca Reid, MY OTHER HEART by Emma Nanami Strenner, THE SECRETS OF DRAGONFLY LODGE by Rachel Hore

Seven Rules for a Perfect Marriage is available now from the Mail Bookshop SEVEN RULES FOR A PERFECT MARRIAGE by Rebecca Reid (Bloomsbury £9.99, 304pp) Moral fable meets urban romance in this tale of relationship influencers. Jessica and Jack have millions of followers, plus book and TV deals coming out of their ears. Everyone wants a marriage as wonderful as theirs. Behind the scenes, however, they're both miserable. She wants a baby while he wants his old job back at the BBC. During a moment of drunken madness, Jack unwisely reveals all. What now, as followers and publishers desert the golden couple in droves? Lots of fun media detail and some great minor characters; Jack's stingy and snobbish parents, in particular. MY OTHER HEART by Emma Nanami Strenner (Hutchinson Heinemann £18.99, 416pp) A sharp upstairs-downstairs look at the Asian-American experience. We're in Philadelphia with Kit, Japanese adopted daughter of a wealthy white couple, and her BFF Sabrina, child of a poor Chinese single mum. School's just ended and this last summer before college has some big surprises in store. While feckless, beautiful Kit flies off to find herself in Tokyo, the less assured Sabrina interns at a downtown migrant charity. In the background is Vietnamese Mimi, whose child was snatched as a baby, and Lee Lee, Sabrina's prickly ma. I loved this family drama which considers geography and destiny from a fascinating point of view – with a great twist at the end. THE SECRETS OF DRAGONFLY LODGE by Rachel Hore (Simon and Schuster £16.99, 480pp) Writer Stef's researching a book about pioneering women scientists. One is zoologist Nancy Foster, an elderly Norfolk neighbour of her mother's. Brilliant as she was, Nancy's career never reached the heights it should have, but why? Stef sets about finding out, getting to know her subject's smouldering grandson along the way. There unfolds a tale of sexism and skulduggery. The action moves between modern-day Stef and 1950s London, where Nancy studies alongside dashing and dastardly James West. Hore's novels are absorbing, calming and wonderfully sane. They should be prescribed on the NHS.

Cancelled movie star says Hollywood is sick of losing money on 'woke' films as industry set to change under Trump

Kevin Sorbo claims Hollywood is shifting its values after growing sick of losing money on ' woke ' films. The self-proclaimed 'first cancel culture victim' revealed that studios are now reaching out to him, after years of being rejected over his conservative Christian values. The actor, 66, rose to international fame as the Greek demigod Hercules in the hit show 'Hercules: The Legendary Journeys,' which ran for six seasons from 1995 to 1999. Sorbo said that he sees a shift happening within the movie industry under president Donald Trump, in a new interview with Fox News Digital. 'I think people are tired of it, and Hollywood's tired of losing money, like they're going to lose another $300 million on this woke Disney movie with "Snow White."' 'I think the American people are fed up, and I think they showed it in the last election as well. They said enough is enough of this stuff.'
