Buckingham Nicks was mentioned on NPR in December....

[Johnny Stew]

Thru work, I have access to a research database called Ebsco... which hosts articles and info from thousands of magazines and newspapers.
Anyway, I was playing around with it today, and did a search on "Stevie Nicks," and this is one of the items i found... a transcript of an NPR radio show, from December of 2002.

I omitted Bill Ferris' and Tim Page's segments, because they weren't related to 'Buckingham Nicks.'

Title: Interview: Anthony DeCurtis, Bill Ferris and Tim Page discuss their favorite vinyl releases not yet available on CD , Weekend Edition Sunday (NPR), DEC 01, 2002
Database: Newspaper Source

1:00-2:00 PM , From NPR News, this is WEEKEND EDITION. I'm Liane Hansen.

(Soundbite of music)

HANSEN: If you're in the midst of holiday shopping then odds are you'll stumble into a record store at some point. And while you're perusing row upon row of CDs, consider for a moment what you're not seeing. There are classic recordings by Neil Young, Aretha Franklin and Cannonball Adderley, just to name a few, that have never been officially released on compact disc. So over the next four weeks, we're putting this question to people throughout the music community: `What are the best albums that never made it to CD?'

Mr. ANTHONY DeCURTIS (Contributing Editor, Rolling Stone Magazine): Hi. I'm Anthony DeCurtis. I'm a contributing editor at Rolling Stone magazine. And the record I've selected is "Buckingham Nicks."

(Soundbite of music)

Mr. DeCURTIS: "Buckingham Nicks" is a collaboration between Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. It's a record they made in 1973, well before they became famous with Fleetwood Mac. And this record is the catalyst. You know, all of the tension that Fleetwood Mac would become very famous for are really present on this record.

(Soundbite of song)

Mr. LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM: (Singing) Baby, baby, don't treat me so bad. I'm the best one that you have ever had.

Mr. DeCURTIS: The "Buckingham Nicks" record really got caught up, first, in a lot of, you know, record company politics and then sometime in the '80s, the masters reverted to Lindsey Buckingham, which is kind of both a great thing, in a sense, 'cause, you know, it's his work and, you know, he should own it. On the other hand, Lindsey is--take your pick--either a perfectionist or a complete obsessive. He keeps threatening and he keeps making noises that eventually, it's going to come out, but, you know, it's kind of, like, you know, this is a guy who makes a solo record about once a decade or so. And there's some question about whether or not we're ever going to see the "Buckingham Nicks" CD version.

(Soundbite of song)

Mr. BUCKINGHAM and Ms. STEVIE NICKS: (Singing) Oh, won't you let me down again? Yeah.
