I haven't really done the research to figure out how rare it is, but I was pretty excited to pick up a Buckingham Nicks LP for $20 last week in my hometown record shop. Definitely wasn't expecting to find it there!

Congratulations! Did you play the song WITHOUT A LEG TO STAND ON yet? If so, what do you think of it? Specifically, its use of the major 7 & the 6? Very reminiscent of GYPSY verses, do you not think?

LOVE that song, probably my favorite on the album.

Back then, without the internet, it was much harder to obtain unreleased stuff. I remember being completely "enchanted" by Stevie's demos. Forest of the Black Roses was a favorite. And I loved that the covers featured Stevie's artwork too.

The weird thing about those UNCIRCULATED RUMOURS vinyls is that those demos were out already on tape -- everyone had them on tape -- & for some reason people wanted the colored vinyl LPs too, even though they were scratchier. I think collectors drove up the price of those things.

I didn't feel it was really any harder; you just traded by mail. You hand wrote or typed your "list" & copied it & out it went to whoever asked for it. Plus you monitored the classifieds in the backs of the rock magazines, where you'd find dozens of Fleetwood Mac collectors selling goodies. Goldmine was a goldmine, too, as everyone knows, & the professional rock photographers used to advertise in Rolling Stone & other big magazines. In fact, in those days, getting a photos-for-sale catalog was a treat because often the seller would give entertaining descriptions of the photos (that was how you knew which ones you wanted), & usually would send a "sample," too. It was fun, them days (or maybe it was fun because I was a teenager). Plus, the band was actually still good back then -- that helped, too.

Finds. I went to this record show in Dayton back probably in 1989, and got two albums woefully abscent from my then young collection, which I had been trying to find for about two years. I first found an original pressing of "English Rose" for $15. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. But then, it got significantly better. I then found a fairly worn first US pressing of the ol' "Dog & Dustbin" album, which has a pink border, for $25. The blues blasted through my stereo that day.
Now, later that year, I found a copy of Buckingham Nicks, which was a great moment, too. But the others were utter magic.

My greatest find....Out of the Cradle on vinyl. Got it on Ebay for $25, I think it was. And...got Lindsey to sign it at one of the FM SYW shows in Dallas. It's framed and on my wall.

Sorry to bump this thread but...
Last night I had a wonderful FM related discovery! My roommate and I visited our local record store... and we browsed for a long time... but the selection wasn't particularly great. We were on our way out the door, when I saw that there was a shelf nearby with lots of old magazines stacked up. I sorted through them when, to my delight, I discovered the February 1980 Rolling Stone! It was only $2 ! I am just a broke college student, so I dug up $2.19 in change and bought it!
It's the one with Mick holding Stevie up on his shoulder. The picture with the full band is on the inside, as well as a b&w pic of the band in the studio (that I had never seen before). The article is great as well! I really enjoyed reading it. |

It waaas the subway-size Rumours poster until it got trashed via bad packaging.
So I guess it's the five different Fleetwood Mac rings I found as a set on eBay. So far I've worn Lindsey to the Lindsey show, and I'll wear Lindsey, Stevie, John and Mac in '09 for the tour!

I didn't even know they made FM rings. I had some Spice Girls ones, circa 1996, but that's totally different, and less awesome.
