Buckingham Nicks on Pandora? Since when? and HOW?

[skuncles]

Hearing Buckingham Nicks on Pandora or ANYWHERE shouldn't be that much of a surprise. Before CD's radio stations actually played vinyl records. They would often put them on carts (tapes that sort of look like an 8-track tape). So I'm guessing that someone at Pandora just took the album and put it into MP3 format like all of us have already done. There are many great quality digital versions of the album out there.
What is surprising is hearing the MuZac version of "Frozen Love", which I've heard in a store and almost passed out when I realized what song it was!

It's already available on cd because I have a copy which includes extra tracks, including a rather different live version of Rhiannon.

ANY copy on CD is a bootleg, the album has never officially been released on CD. Part of the issue is that Stevie and Lindsey own and currently HAVE the master tapes.

Has any Pandora listeners noticed BN tracks lately?

This is great news! I'm an avid Pandora user, can't wait to check this out!

Hi, it's not a bootleg. I just found the official CD version on Ebay (released by Polydor), with a live version of "Rhiannon" also included.
I guess it's the same copy Jay has: http://www.ebay.it/itm/Buckingham-Ni...item3a7784abe4

Nope, sorry. It's never been officially released.

Stevie and Lindsey have been saying in the press for several years (and more often in the last year) that they will finally release it. But, apparently, there are legal hold ups involving Keith Olsen or maybe even between them and label(s) as to when the right time is and probably trying to decide on some type of promotion and whether or not that would include a tour of some kind.

No, I've heard them on XM/Sirius a lot and I used to hear them on Pandora. Recently, I've noticed I don't hear those tracks at all and just wondered if anyone else had noticed they've dropped off?

Shoot! They really need to release this as a 2 disc set on CD- the album, plus a live show and unreleased demos. I would die. And then go right out and buy it.

Thanks, CAD
I also read on the link that Omshiva posted, that:

"Sources close to the pair state that Stevie very much wants it to be released but that Lindsey is the reluctant party.
The source for these tracks as they appear here is the original DLedin 16 bit vinyl rip of the album."

But if it's only a bootleg, is the use of the Polydor label allowed? I don't know very much about bootlegs, so I don't know how the whole thing works...sorry!
I thought that a record company wouldn't allow the publication of unauthorized/illegal stuff....

People who make bootlegs tend to do whatever they can to make them look legit. What you have was very well made, but still a bootleg. There are bootleg labels out there that make professional looking and sounding boots. A few key things to look for if you're unsure if it's a bootleg or not, look for a bar code, look for a copyright date (the Buckingham Nicks album if and when it's finally released will most likely say something like "original recordings (c) 1973, (c) 2012 packaging") Also if it were a legit reissue there is almost ALWAYS a write up inside about the album by someone connected to the artist.

It's true, actually I hadn't really thought about it! Thanks Skuncles

The current issue resides with Keith Olsen who, along with Lindsey and Stevie owns the masters. I'm pretty sure Polydor, it's successors and or assigns have relinquished any rights to the material.
