Is this how we get Buckingham Nicks?
 

For those who prefer old-fashioned CD's, it can be hard to locate out-of-print items, even among small retailers plying the Internet. But Amazon's Createspace will parntner with EMI, Sony BMG, Rhino and other labels to list out-of-print items online and custom-burn them. This on-demand approach is already common in book publishing. (article printed in Home Theater magazine, Sept. 08 issue).


So is this how we finally get Buckingham Nicks?

Prolly not if Buck & Nicks still don't give the ok. What's up with that ANYWAY?!?!! Jeesh

Strategy....

There are already tons of bootlegs of this on CD out there anyhow, from the "official Austraila release" which isn't, to just regular homemade copies. But having said that, for years the record collectors magazine, "Goldmine" used to do it's annual "want list" on CD and "Buckingham Nicks" always topped the list. The people at "Goldmine" would then contact record labels with these lists, it actually got some of the titles issued on disc.
Rhino Handmade which is an offshoot of Rhino Records does nothing more than release hard to find out of print albums complete with top notch artwork and liner notes and are official releases. They had been approached several times about putting the album out, they agreed, all they needed were the master tapes and the ok from whoever had the tapes. Stevie and Lindsey have the master tapes. Stevie has been ok with putting the album out for years, at least the last twenty anyhow. Lindsey on the other hand feels the album isn't his best work so he's the one holding it up.
You don't need to work on record labels, you need to work on Lindsey.

There are some "rumours" (well, I recall, I THINK in a Keith Olsen interview) that the master tapes are in really bad fragile shape, that they'd only have one shot at dubbing them onto a digital recorder...that the tapes are in worse shape than the Dead Sea Scrolls.

I already have BuckinghamNicks on cd. I bought it at this record shop here in st.Louis that sells imports and bootlegs and stuff. The disc is painted to look exactly like the Polydoor lable. It's nice to have. I got it for like 30.00 though. It has a case and cover everything. Just not the lyrics.

Lindsey said in the next couple of years in his Rockline interview in April.

this album would be a huge seller for them if it got a rerelease. The integrity of the music still sounds great so it must be an issue of money/royalties or a disinterest by record companies which would be foolish.

The sell of bootlegs is only hurting it.

I say release the damn thing already! My hair is graying.

shedding some light (albeit, circa 2001)

La Nicks has repeatedly and relatively recently said LB is the hold up for re-releasing BN. LB somewhat denied this.

I personally think LB does not care for BN. He dropped Don't Let me Down Again after he played it once on the last FM tour and I do not think he plays it live. So, I tend to believe La Nicks here.

In the end, who knows.

I agree that Lindsey is probably the holdup- if only because Stevie is, as we all know, all about re-releasing/re-packaging the same old stuff for effortless $$$.

The band (not just Lindsey) dropped the song because it went over like a lead balloon that night in Madison. It sounded quite good, but you could tell by the looks on their faces that they felt their "experiment" had failed.

I don't know -- I was there on like the sixth row and the fans reacted positively from what I saw, though the key was awful :shrug:

In the end, I think he is loathe to play it.

He did, though, include a little of the vocal at the Soundstage solo thingee he did - at La Nicks' prodding :shrug:

Wasn't that Frozen Love from the Sounstage gig?

Yes, it was then. It is on the released product as well. All of us who were there was immediately silent after she started singing in sort of a "OMG -- are they really going to do it" kind of way.

Maybe Stevie will include it some day with her "tell all" book.
