Buckingham Nicks Reunion Rumblings

[WildHearted]

Clearly theres a difference to Buckingham and Nicks, so there's a difference to me as well. Aside from a difference in sound ( but who knows what their sous would be like today) I think there's a difference in how the material is approached. They may not have ever written together per say, but I think they definitely worked the songs out more together in the early days - or at least, Lindsey did most of the working out, period. In fleetwood Mac Stevie comes in with songs practically finished and same for Lindsey mostly without the others I. Mind, at least, that was the case for Say YOu Will.

If this were the case they'd have to be billed as Fleetwood Mac.

Yeah, I guess you're right... That's why I thought a couple of years ago they could very well add a BN section into the FM set and bill it as "Fleetwood Mac featuring Buckingham Nicks". If they were promoting a BN re-release or whatever.

And I think THAT'S what Lindsey is talking about when he tallks about coming full circle. It's how he wants to approach the music, NOT how it's released.

But, it still won't sound like the old BN. Stevie WILL have that vocal run that has been on almost every album since Mirror (you know, the "and you remember it" vocal run from Whole Lotta Trouble), while Lindsey will try to sound even more like Segovia.

As a huge fan of the post-Green Danny Kirwan material, this has been a huge gripe. Fleetwood Mac had an innocent approach to the music back then. That simplicity changed for both parties in 1975. They spent more time on that first album with LB and SN than they had on all of the albums from Kiln House through HAHTF combined, and probably BN too.

The ridiculous part of the BN vs FM thing, to me, is that Mick wouldn't have been interested if they didn't kind of already sound like Fleetwood Mac.

I don't think that's why Mick was interested. I think he liked the guitar-playing he heard. I don't think he was sitting there saying, well Rhiannon sounds like it could come from the same band that did Black Magic Woman.

He may have said that later, but I don't think he was saying that on New Year's Eve 1974 and John wasn't thinking about how much he wanted to play on Crystal then either. Mick didn't run home and listen to BN back to front, to compare sounds. Although he might have looked at Stevie from front to back.

He said it reminded him of Danny Kirwan, although Stevie said Peter Green. Either way, it sounded like a good fit for Fleetwood Mac. Think of all the good guitarists they knew back then. Even Waddy would have been perhaps a more obvious choice for a post-Welch guitarist: a blues rocking, Les Paul playing guitarist who had a similar presence to Bob Welch. All great, but a relative unknown from California had that X factor, that sound.

Firsts were gatefolds.

SteveMac is correct, the first were gate-folds.
I didn't know this when I finally tracked down
my first Buckingham Nicks album. A friend found
it for me and I happily paid too much for it. The
condition it was in was just horrible. But it was
a treasure to me. Later on I found the original
gate-fold version in mint condition.

Now my question is...
Since the album didn't sell well at all, did the
second pressing (non gate-fold) come out after
the success of the FM White Album or even
Rumours?

Even so, many still wound up in the cut-out bins.

Yes, I believe they re-issued BN after the success of Lindsey and Stevie in Fleetwood Mac. But I'm not sure exactly when that happened - as to whether it was after Fleetwood Mac or after Rumours.

Buckingham Nicks in 2013??

STEVIE NICKS HOPEFUL FOR 'BUCKINGHAM NICKS' REISSUE
http://oldies1017.com/The_Music_World.php

Hope springs eternal:


Stevie Nicks feels positive that 1973's Buckingham Nicks, the sole joint album with then-lover Lindsey Buckingham will see a release next year. The pair's pre-Fleetwood Mac album, which has never been released on CD, celebrates it's 40th anniversary next September. Over the years, Buckingham Nicks has gained a legion of die-hard fans, who have sought out pristine vinyl pressings of the Polydor release for major money. A 30th anniversary release was tentatively scheduled back in 2003, but never materialized.
It was the album's closing number, "Frozen Love" that gained Mick Fleetwood's attention while scouting Los Angeles' Sound City recording studio. The album's producer, Keith Olsen, played the track as a demonstration of the studio's capabilities and hooked Fleetwood who soon asked Buckingham -- and by extension -- Nicks to join Fleetwood Mac. Two of the Buckingham Nicks tracks would be included on future albums -- Nicks' "Crystal" found a home on Fleetwood Mac's 1975 self-titled collection and a live version of "Don't Let Me Down Again" was featured on 1980's Fleetwood Mac Live.
Stevie Nicks told us that plans are definitely underway to prep their first Buckingham Nicks release on CD: "This is, the coming up year is the 40 years. So, what we're thinking is we might do something to celebrate the 40 years thing and we're going to try and put the record out. The only reason why it hasn't come out is because it kinda belongs to three different people and it's like owning a car, a third of a car. And everybody has to be on the same page and nobody has ever been on the same page. So we're hoping this year people will get on the same page and we can put it out since this is it's 40th."
We asked her if there's any chance for a few Buckingham Nicks shows to promote the new set: "Very possibly! Very possibly! 'Cause we. . . that's easy. Yeah."
