Young performers, presumably not much older than their years, successfully deliver a remastered version of the 1973 album shared by Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.
The long-lost album Buckingham Nicks, a precursor to the iconic duo Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joining Fleetwood Mac, is set to make a comeback on September 19, 2025. This reissue, after a 50-year absence, will be available in CD, vinyl, and digital formats, marking a significant moment for rock music enthusiasts.
Originally released in 1973, Buckingham Nicks was a commercial failure at the time but served as an important stepping stone for the duo's entry into Fleetwood Mac in 1975. The album, which showcases the unique talents and songwriting partnership of Buckingham and Nicks, played a crucial role in shaping Fleetwood Mac's sound and their subsequent success.
The reissue of Buckingham Nicks coincides with Fleetwood Mac's 50th anniversary, highlighting the lasting cultural and musical influence of the duo's work before joining the band. The album's impact on Fleetwood Mac is significant, as it captured the early creative chemistry between Buckingham and Nicks and helped establish their presence in the rock music scene.
The original album, which was previously hard-to-come-by, will be digitally re-released, and a limited edition vinyl version will include replicas of the album's 7" singles. Interestingly, the album's poster, posted by Buckingham and Nicks themselves, seems to confirm a September 19 release.
The story of Buckingham Nicks is one of resilience and rediscovery. Buckingham resisted joining Fleetwood Mac alone and insisted on joining with Nicks. Their persistence paid off, as Fleetwood was impressed by the production and the quality of the music, leading him to offer Buckingham a role in Fleetwood Mac. On New Year's Eve 1974, Buckingham and Nicks officially joined Fleetwood Mac.
This reissue of Buckingham Nicks is more than just a musical artifact; it's a testament to the enduring power of music and the creative partnership between Buckingham and Nicks. The first single from the re-release is Crying In the Night, and fans can expect more from this long-awaited comeback.
As we look forward to the reissue of Buckingham Nicks, it's worth noting that the original album was released on September 5, 1973. The joining of Buckingham and Nicks reshaped Fleetwood Mac and set the stage for their critically successful albums, including Rumours in 1977.
In recent news, Buckingham has expressed his willingness to rejoin Fleetwood Mac, stating on the Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend podcast that he would consider it "in a heartbeat." Nicks and Buckingham have also been communicating again, stirring rumors of a potential Fleetwood Mac reunion. However, Nicks has stated that there is no chance of putting Fleetwood Mac back together without Christine McVie, who passed away in 2022.
Fans can find various color variations of vinyl copies of Buckingham Nicks at Amazon, indie stores, Books A Million, and general retail. This reissue is a must-have for any Fleetwood Mac or rock music enthusiast. So, mark your calendars for September 19, 2025, and join us in celebrating the return of Buckingham Nicks.
