The Buckingham McVie album! Out June 9th, 2017!!!

I don't see the problem with the headline. They weren't implying that it was a full Fleetwood Mac album.

If they had been more established within the band, the same headline could have been used for the Bekka & Billy album.

'Fleetwood Mac duet album to be released'?
I think that's an oversight on their part as they clearly refer in the body of the article to the fact that it won't actually be a Fleetwood Mac album.
I think the press are generally clear that it is a FM album that just wont officially be called a FM album.

You know, I'm warming to the idea that even if it were ever to be released as a Fleetwood Mac album, it would still be a good title for the album to call it Buckingham McVie. I think I'd like that over Carnival Begin or Red Sun or Too Far Gone or whatever.

FULL TEXT OF ARTICLE:

Fleetwood Mac’s Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie are set to record a duet album together under the name Buckingham McVie. The moniker harks back to the cult duo Buckingham Nicks, which Lindsey and Stevie Nicks formed before joining Fleetwood Mac.

The singers told the LA Times that their new record should be released in May, with Buckingham commenting on the particular chemistry between the two: “All these years we’ve had this rapport, but we’d never really thought about doing a duet album before.” he said.

McVie added: “We’ve always written well together, Lindsey and I, and this has just spiralled into something really amazing that we’ve done between us.”

The partnership had been hinted at several months previously when drummer Mick Fleetwood told Rolling Stone that the pair “could probably have a mighty strong duet album if they want.”

However the project is slightly more of a group affair than the title suggests – fellow Mac members bassist John McVie and Fleetwood are set to perform on it. This is despite the fact there is still no sign of the first Fleetwood Mac since 2003’s Say You Will. Fans had hoped that when McVie rejoined the band in 2014 following a 16 year break, there would be a new album – but securing time with Stevie Nicks, who has been concentrating on her solo career, has been the stumbling block.

In October last year, McVie told the Guardian that the album was “half-finished … it’s just seven tracks that we’ve got, and they’re only with guide vocals”. Talking of its “fantastic variety of songs” she said she hoped to finish the album before last Christmas.

I love that they are moving on as artists. I'm so proud of those two.

As someone else pointed out, the Say You Will album was called Fleetwood Mac even though Christine did not participate. It seems they are walking on eggshells

I only think they are doing that because SN is singed contractually to a huge FM tour later on.

I've even read Keith Olsen is the hold up. I have no idea why rereleasing it has been so problematic, but it doesn't seem to be related to any hard feelings between Stevie and Lindsey.

Lindsey wants to rerelease it as an expanded version....Stevie wants to release as it was originally put out. However, Stevie wants a new cover, since she's always hated the cover. Lindsey, however, loves the cover, and doesn't want to change it.
Next year is the 45th anniversary of the album's release...if they don't come to some kind of agreement in the next six years, this album will never again see the light of day!

It's hard to believe Buckingham/McVie will be released before Buckingham/Nicks on CD or Itunes.

Isn't that weird?

Not really. Lindsey likes Christine.

It was released in 1973. 44 years is a lot of dislike. IMO

It's so amusing to read people's opinions on here.

You got that right! I laugh so hard some days from this board. It's quite entertaining.

On one hand, I don't want to record new albums because of money. On the other hand, I'm happy my bandmates are doing it.

Good ole' Stevie.
