Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham announce reissue of rare duo album ‘Buckingham Nicks'
A love not so frozen anymore. Last week, Euronews Culture chronicled the frenzied online speculations about a possible Fleetwood Mac reunion, following cryptic social media posts by longtime members/exes Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. Unwilling to yield to collective mania and possibly wary of future disappointment, we concluded that the posts were probably 'just bandmates having a laugh and patching things up.' How blissfully naive we were. Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham have announced the reissue of 'Buckingham Nicks', more than 50 years after the initial release of their only studio album as a duo. A remastered version will be on sale on 19 September, both digitally and on CD, with a limited number of 5,000 physical copies. The record's opening track, 'Crying in the Night', was made available to stream on Wednesday. 'Buckingham Nicks' was originally released in 1973. It was a commercial failure but it caught the attention of Mick Fleetwood, who invited Buckingham to join Fleetwood Mac. The American singer insisted that Nicks join too. The two, then a couple, became the central faces, voices and songwriters of the group for the four decades that followed. Their tumultuous relationship inspired several of the band's most famous songs, including on the 1977 hit album 'Rumours.' 'Buckingham Nicks' reached a cult classic status among Fleetwood Mac fans but became a rare sight in record stores. It was last issued on vinyl in 1981 and has remained absent from streaming platforms. The duo foreshadowed the announcement in a series of Instagram posts last week. Nicks shared a hand-written line from the pair's 1973 song 'Frozen Love': 'And if you go forward…' 'I'll meet you there', Buckingham responded on his own account, completing the lyric. The interaction sent fans into a frenzy, leading many to believe that a Fleetwood Mac reunion was imminent, but the prospect seemed uncertain. Nicks has said that without the late singer Christine McVie, who died on 30 November 2022 aged 79, 'there's no chance of putting Fleetwood Mac back together.' Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham had long wanted to reedit their debut work. In 2011, Buckingham told Uncut that he and Nicks had 'every intention of putting that album back out.' The reissued version of 'Buckingham Nicks' features the same album cover as the original, a photograph of the then-couple posing nude. Buckingham and Nicks were in their early to mid-20s during the making of their album. 'It stands up in a way you hope it would, by these two kids who were pretty young to be doing that work', Buckingham said in the re-release's liner notes.. '[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 said.

After much speculation, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham announce Buckingham Nicks reissue
They're not going their own way anymore. After much speculation, Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham announced Wednesday (Jul 23) the reissue of Buckingham Nicks, more than 50 years after the release of their only full-length album as a duo. Originally released in 1973, Buckingham Nicks is not currently available on streaming platforms. According to Discogs, the album was last issued on vinyl on the Polydor label in the US in 1981. The remastered version arrives Sep 19 via Rhino Records' high-fidelity series and was sourced from the original analogue master tapes. The album will also receive a CD and digital release for the first time, and the opening track, Crying In The Night, was available to stream Wednesday. Buckingham and Nicks were in their early to mid-20s during the making of their album. 'It was a very natural thing, from the beginning,' Nicks says in the re-release's liner notes, written by music journalist David Fricke. Despite their relative inexperience, '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 says, according to the announcement release. The reissue announcement was foreshadowed by cryptic Instagram posts last week. Both Nicks and Buckingham shared handwritten lyrics to their official social media accounts. 'And if you go forward…' Nicks posted, a line from their song Frozen Love, which appears on Buckingham Nicks. 'I'll meet you there,' Buckingham shared, completing the lyric. In 2011, Buckingham told Uncut that he and Nicks had 'every intention of putting that album back out and possibly even doing something along with it, but I can't put any specifics on that'. In 2013, on the album's 40th anniversary, Fleetwood Mac released Extended Play, their first new studio material since 2003's Say You Will. The four-track collection featured a song titled Without You, which had been originally slated for Buckingham Nicks. The reissued version of Buckingham Nicks features the same album cover as the original, despite Nicks' public dissatisfaction with the photograph, telling classic rock magazine MOJO that she 'felt like a rat in a trap' during the shoot. 'I'm actually quite prudish. So when they suggested they shoot Lindsey and I nude I could not have been more terrified if you'd asked me to jump off a speeding train,' Nicks told MOJO in 2013. 'Lindsey was like, 'Oh, come on – this is art. Don't be a child!' I thought, 'Who are you? Don't you know me?'' Buckingham Nicks was released one year before they joined Fleetwood Mac, and was met with little commercial success. But it did attract the attention of Mick Fleetwood, who invited Buckingham to join Fleetwood Mac. Buckingham in turn insisted Nicks come, too. The two, then a couple, became the central faces, voices and songwriters of the group for the four decades that followed. The pair's tumultuous relationship appeared across the band's discography: She wrote Dreams about him. He wrote Go Your Own Way about her. Infamously, they broke up while writing the 1977 hit album Rumours. Footage of Nicks staring down Buckingham 20 years later during a performance of Silver Springs routinely goes viral ('You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you,' Nicks and Buckingham sing in unison, at one point, holding each other's gaze.) Buckingham left the band in 1987, returning in 1996. The last time the band reunited, however, for a 2018-2019 tour, the rest of the members kicked Buckingham out, and as a result, he sued them. He claimed he was told five days after the group appeared at Radio City Music Hall that the band would tour without him. He says he would have been paid at least US$12 million for his share of the proceeds. Later that year, Buckingham said they had settled the lawsuit. Both Buckingham and Nicks have also released reams of solo music. Some fans had theorised that Nicks and Buckingham were teasing a Fleetwood Mac reunion, which would have been the first since the death of vocalist, songwriter and keyboard player Christine McVie in 2022.

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

Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham to reissue pre-Fleetwood Mac album, "Buckingham Nicks"
Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are back together — sort of. A week after setting off a firestorm of speculation, Nicks and Buckingham announced that their first studio album, "Buckingham Nicks," will be officially reissued in all formats, including digital, for the first time in the U.S. since the early 1980s. The former Fleetwood Mac bandmates shared a pair of cryptic messages across their Instagram accounts last week which combined to read, "And if you go forward… I'll meet you there" — lyrics from "Frozen Love," a song off the duo's fabled 1973 album. Social media lit up with discussion of a possible reunion, seven years after Buckingham was fired from Fleetwood Mac. On Wednesday, Nicks and Buckingham jointly posted a video of a billboard advertising the album's reissue going up in Los Angeles, announcing in the post's caption that the first single from the release, a newly remastered edition of "Crying In The Night," was available now to stream. Nicks and Buckingham released "Buckingham Nicks" shortly before joining Fleetwood Mac in 1974. It was a commercial failure, resulting in their label, Polydor Records, dropping the pair from their contract. The album's last official release was a 1981 vinyl pressing from Polydor, according to Discogs, but the record has never been available on CD or digital, although bootlegs have surfaced over the years. Now, premium vinyl record producer Rhino High Fidelity is gearing up to release the full album on Sept. 19, alongside fresh liner notes from music journalist David Fricke, including interviews with both Buckingham and Nicks. "[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 a Rhino press release. Buckingham said the album "stands up in a way you hope it would, by these two kids who were pretty young to be doing that work." The remastered album is now available to pre-order in a standard edition and a deluxe edition, which includes two 7-inch singles, "Crying In The Night" and "Don't Let Me Down Again." The standard edition is limited to 5,000 copies, while the singles are numbered to 2,000. Rumors of a possible "Buckingham Nicks" reissue have percolated for years. Back in 2011, Buckingham told Rolling Stone that the album has "been a victim of inertia. It's funny, I spent a lot of time with Stevie this year when she was finishing her album and we were getting along great. We have every intention of putting that album back out and possibly even doing something along with it, but I can't put any specifics on that." Rhino sourced the audio for the remastered vinyl from the duo's original analog master tapes of the album, which was recorded at Sound City Studios in Los Angeles, not far from the billboard announcing its long-awaited return.
