Buckingham Nicks update

[LukeA]

So, as it turns out, Keith Olsen is pulling a Saul Zaentz and holding BN as his nest egg... (from the Tom Moncrieff Q&A)

Do you know what the hold up is on having the Buckingham Nicks album released on a cd after all these years?

What have you heard as the reason(s) that this is not happening? Daniel

A: I have a pretty good idea. It really should be released, but I think that it never will be, other than the atrociously bad bootlegs that are out there.

That album was recorded and co-produced by Keith Olsen (no matter what the credits say, it was really produced by Lindsey). My understanding is that he has some kind of ownership of the masters that doesn’t work for S&L. Probably not too far removed from the problems that John Fogerty had that caused him to disappear for a long time. More than that I cannot say.

How crazy is this? As we've discussed in the past, the masters are in excellent shape (at least for a two-channel stereo mix)- you're telling me the only holdup is Keith f'ing Olsen? Really?
