Look what I saw at the record store today...
 

I'm going on long a road trip this weekend, so I stopped into my local record store to find some new music for the drive. Look what was there:

My first thought was this is simply a bootleg. But then I went home and looked up Anthem Records... it's a legit record company based out of Portland. I wonder why the CD was made in Australia, then? :confused: I'm not sure how it can be digitally remastered, either. Perhaps they just cleaned up the ripped mp3 files the way our very own Brandon (mylittledemon) does? :shrug:

I know there are quite a few local Austin Ledgies, so if any of y'all want to pick this up it's at Waterloo Records on Lamar. I just couldn't bring myself to spend $18 on it, when it's probably just a bootleg... and likely a dubious quality one at that. They also had a 2 CD The Chain boxed set, by the way :).

Bad Stevie fan! *smack*

I know, I know! :laugh:

There's a few reasons I didn't get it. Mainly, I have an okay quality CD of Buckingham Nicks that a Ledgie made me :). So I don't really need it. Plus, I'm not okay with buying bootlegs masquerading as legit CDs. I see there are a couple of these Buckingham Nicks CDs on ebay. Apparently they're imported from Australia (perhaps that protects them from copyright laws?). I see that Anthem Record's website does not list Buckingham Nicks anywhere. So this is turning into quite a little mystery! :p I'm tempted now to just go buy the stupid thing out of curiosity!

There were 24 bit tracks from a vinyl audio rip floating around not too long ago.

Or so you can just brag to us ;).

That's the SAME cd I have Louie... and it sounds fab. ;) I hope you bought it.

I just realized I have the one you just saw today! On the actual Cd it says
"STEREO
BUCKINGHAM
NICKS
ANTHEM RECORDS COLLECTOR'S ADDITION
STEVIE NICKS
&
LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM
*See tray insert for playing sequence"

It also has an Anthem Records insignia on it. I always thought it was just a marketed bootleg.

Why haven't they just released this and made a crap ton of money again?

I wonder this too... they own the rights, do they not? What are they waiting for?

What the ****ing ****?!?!?!??! Everytime I go to Waterloo they NEVER have a shred of anything Stevie Nicks. That is why I usually shop at Cheapos, but I'm for sure going to skidattle my ass over to Waterloo tomorrow and check this **** out if it is still there. That being said, I did raid Antone's for their Stevie/Mac stuff the other night and got Behind The Mask on vinyl and the single 45 of Dreams!

Under the discography section here it says the liner notes to BuckinghamNicks say this:


Whatever that means...

I say that about alot of things all of them could 'put out' and release. What are they waiting for??? Til none of us care or are all gone? You don't make $$ that way. I have this cd but no booklet just the cd I think. Its a nice cd. Of course they could make it better if only Stevie and Lindsey would just re-release it even if only in limited quanities. I'll not ever ever understand. I'm thinking as a fan of course but really I think 'if' they wanted something released to the public they'd find a way. IMO anyway. :shrug:

Agreed. I think they missed the boat on making any money off Buckingham Nicks by at least a decade. Had they ridden on the success of The Dance and perhaps released the album a year later, they could have potentially moved quite a few copies. Since the Dance sold 5 Million copies, I don't see why Buckingham Nicks couldn't have gone at least Gold riding on the Dance's coattails. However, with the state of the music industry today, and the fact the band has ignored it's followers for so very long, it's safe to say they wouldn't move many copies of Buckingham Nicks these days. :distress:

If this were an official release (money hungry) Stevie would have broadcast it to the world.
