For a while it was widely known that there was some kind of joint ownership of the masters between Lindsey and Stevie. However, several years ago there was some sort of allegation that Keith Olsen had some kind of skin in the game and was not negotiable. He has since passed away. I don’t know if it’s ever been disclosed who owns what. It must come down to Lindsey and Stevie, I’m sure Rhino/Warner are well aware of the potential cash from such a release.

Come on... how much could it sell? 50k?
The band is 100, and their 75yo fan base isn't exactly known for keeping music alive.

The only thing that could sell is a deluxe box.

Other than that, there’s really no point. The music is available on the internet. It would be nice to have a proper digital version, but they missed there chance.

I think the idea floated of turning The Dance tour into a Buckingham Nicks 25th Anniversary reissue tour would have been the way to go. Swap out Christine with Waddy.

It soooo freaks me out that The Dance is now 26 years ago.....

Everything was in place. The touring “machine” was well oiled and their star power was at its peak. The two of them were basically being featured as the stars of the show throughout 1997 with that Landslide BS and of course, Silver Springs. Seriously, just eliminate all of Chris’s songs sans Don’t Stop from the set, turf The Farmer’s Daughter, drop one of Lindsey’s new songs, add in a mini set of Crying in the Night/Don’t Let Me Down Again/Crystal/Stephanie/Long Distance Winner, and toss in Frozen Love as the first song of the encore before Don’t Stop. Just keep billing it as Fleetwood Mac and pump the rerelease of Buckingham Nicks in tandem. It made all the sense!

I’m with you Steve, I really don’t think there’s a point anymore. It may happen some day but from a business sense, the ship sailed long ago.

They've had no issue selling how many reissues of Rumours, I highly doubt an official release of Buckingham Nicks wouldn't sell. That's my two cents!

I guess Buckingham Nicks wouldn't sell a third of what Rumours reissues sell. But that wouldn't be a reason to not release it. The point is wether it sells enough more than break even. Vinyls and CDs sure mean a considerable cost. Digital would be cheaper I guess.
