Buckingham/Nicks
 

:cool: How may of you Ledgies out there have an original copy of
Buckingham/Nicks?
I do!:nod:

I had the original album and an 8-track tape. My mom threw them out many years ago when I moved out. Little did I know what they would go for on ebay now. Now I have the import cd that I listed to all of the time. Absolutely love this album.

I did, so I gave it to a younger fan. I'm in the process of passing all my things along to the whippersnapper fans -- I've had them long enough.

two copies:
one gatefold
one non-gatefold (what is the correct term?)

they're both in pretty fabulous shape, i arbitrarily deemed one less perfect than the other and it's the one that gets played.

Count me in. I have the original LP. Funny thing about this--I've run across many of these LP's in Austin. And even more funny: I found one of the few at a now defunct, independently owned punk record store :thumbsup:.

I have the original gatefold. :)

Give you good price :D Seriously, if I find one I'm GONNA BUY IT, no matter what it costs :thumbsup:

I have TWO gatefolds! The first one, which I got in 1989, set me back $20. Two years later, I saw another at a Half Priced Books for $4! Two copies for $24. Not bad!

I can find one for you I think. Around 15 euro's. I'll have to check the local vinyl store, but they had one last time I looked.

I already have two copies. Both covers....

I adore the album.

certainly not bad. I bought my first copy for five dollars (12 guilders 25 years ago) and my gatefold was at a secondhand store. I paid 1 guilder. (40 cents)

40 cents?!?!
 

I have one of each. Got one for $35 in a Philly record store...can't recall where I got the other one....

I very proudly have an original gatefold - found it at a rock collectibles conference in Montreal about 15 years ago. My heart literally skipped a beat when I found it (I'd been searching for two years - pre internet!!). I wouldn't sell it for anything.

I have a gatefold that I got at a record store back in 78. I also did have an 8-track but that broke not long after I got it.

Yes. 1 guilder. It was in (good shape!) a carton box with bad and scratched albums, between '70-s "alle 13-goed"-compilations and James Last-albums. Mostly total rubbish, And I usualy skip those boxes. For fun and looking at typical '70-s-covers it was there: my heart skipped a beat-concert.

It was at a store for secondhand furniture and clothes.

I bought my first one about just as long ago (early 90s) but it was priced 50 guilders then.. but that was at a second hand record store, they knew what they were selling.
Second one just a few years ago here in Groningen, couldn't let it lie there. About.. 25 guilders?

Got the gatefold copy for $25, had to order it from abroad because there's no chance of finding a copy in Finland.

Spotted a still sealed copy in Greenwich Market about 15 years ago, at a really cool record stall that specialised in old records and nearly had a heart attack (the record had a near mythical status to me!) . Wish that place still existed.
I think I paid £25 for it. Since then I've seen quite a few copies for a lot less but never in as pristine condition as my mint copy (well near mint now - I've played it a few times).

You opened it? :eek:

Yeah, because I was desperate to hear it!
That was why more important to me than keeping it mint.
I was also about 14 at the time and not really concerned with records keeping their value.
I can't say I regret it. :D

you go girl. life's about passion. not about money

The first one I bought in December 1973; I paid $2.25. (because that's how much albums WERE then) Lost it in a bet a few years ago. :(

Got another LP (the original gatefold cover; NEW) about 1983 for $8 (which I thought was an outrage) :mad: They even wanted $20 for the NON-gatefold cover, USED!! Needless to say, never went back to THAT store again.

I have two versions of the album that I've burnt for myself onto CD-R. A single disc (the album + 4 demos and the live FM "Frozen Love") and a double disc (disc 1: the album + the live BN tracks from Tuscaloosa, AL that are circulating); disc 2: the demos supposedly from the BN years).

If you can do that... :thumbsup: je mag me altijd iets laten weten hoor zit hier veel anders via mail ofzo enorm bedankt!

I just have an unofficial CD, which I guess works just fine until (or if) an official copy ever comes out.

Wow. And, you were already a Fleetwood Mac fan. One wonders what you thought about the union of the two bands when you first heard about it. Also, did you hear any similarities between the two bands? Enquiring minds want to know!

I thought the album was ok...nothing spectacular. :shrug: Didn't hear anything "Fleetwood Mac"-ish about them at the time...of course, NOW the Buckingham Nicks album is pretty much "the great lost Mac album".

Liked the cover though. :thumbsup: Main reason I bought the album. :D (whattaya want? I was 17 at the time!) :angel: I had NO idea who they were, I worked in a record store at the time and was just browsing through the record bins, putting misfiled albums back where they belonged, when I came upon the album. Asked the manager if I could open it for in-store play, she said, "sure"...liked the album, bought it. Ok, I lied when I said I paid $2.25...that was the sticker price...I actually got it with my employee discount...so I paid about $1.50 for it.

I was really shocked when I found out they'd joined FMac (don't know if I was so much shocked that they JOINED or that Bob Welch LEFT...probably 99% the latter)...I thought, "Hey! I know THEM!" So, the white album was pretty much an expected sound for me...Buckingham Nicks with a few Christine McVie tunes mixed in.

It was those LIVE shows in '75 & '76 that got me hooked on the new lineup, not necessarily the album itself.
