Buckingham Nicks reissue is just the album.

I'd like at least interviews with any of the personnel involved. Dashut, Waddy, etc. Is there any old interview with Keith about this album?

Unfortunately I don't think there is a whole lot from Keith. I don't think there was ever a comprehensive interview done before his passing that really concentrated on his years with them. There's a decent enough amount from different print sources/video clips (i.e. behind the music etc) that could be compiled - but to my knowledge, not a really solid in-depth conversation that focused on just B/N.

George Hawkins would of been a great person to talk to as well, but he passed back in 2018.

Here's Gary Hodges talking about what the legal issues were with the release back in 2012.

I think the biggest clarification is that although Stevie and Lindsey own the rights, Keith apparently owned the masters.

probably the best anyone has from Keith is in the Dave Grohl documentary about Sound City. When it came out I was pleasantly surprised just how much was about Stevie and Lindsey in it, especially the first part of it.

Lindsey said a few years back that Stevie had gotten possession of the masters, which it seems no one had been aware of up til then. He pointed to that as part of the game playing that goes on in dealing with her and her team.

Funny they don't talk so much about the owner of the studio, Joe I think was his name, and what a decent guy he was and generous with the use of the studio. I knew nothing about his role in their early days until I saw that documentary. He was ultimately done dirty by Rick Springfield, whom he also nurtured to stardom. Springfield talks about how bad he came to feel about that over time. He really screwed the guy out of any payback from his success.

I'm not an expert in music industry/business, but I thought the master tapes were always kept by the label. When I read that Stevie was upset with Mick because he didn't let her to include Silver Springs in Timespace, some ledgies posted here that actually it was Warner who didn't let her. So is it the label who actually finallt (or partially?) decides?

I have so many questions...

If they jointly owned the rights, how could Stevie obtain the masters from Keith without Lindsey's consent? Maybe he did sign off on it?

Is it remotely possible Stevie negotiated the purchase of the masters to the songs she wrote? I'm taking ownership of my half...Lindsey, you do you.

You would think that if they jointly owned the rights, they would both have to agree upon the transfer/sale of the masters and agree to where they are stored and cared for etc.

It was probably a smart move by Stevie's team if they decided to negotiate a deal with Keith while he was still alive. Trying to obtain the masters while his estate is being settled could easily been way more costly than anything Keith was initially asking for.

I think the difference with BN is that somehow after Polydor dropped them, the ownership of the masters shifted out of their hands (Polydors). I don't know how many years later Keith was able to obtain the masters etc. For whatever reason, Polydor or whatever company that eventually owned Polydor was willing to part with the masters, which seems relatively uncommon.

Does anyone know if the 1977 repress/reissue of Buckingham Nicks was released before Rumours hit the shelves? It's mind boggling that Polydor was willing to sell the masters in light of the massive success of Rumours.

It makes me wonder if all the initial deals were cut sometime in '76 before the white album took off. Polydor figured it was going to be another flop and didn't see any reason not to sell the masters.

Does anyone else have a recollection or remember when Buckingham Nicks showed up on the iTunes music store for like a day back in around 2012 or so? I think it was up for a short time and then someone at iTunes realized it was supposedly not an official release or something. It was taken down fairly quickly. I think some ledgies were able to download and burn it to CD before it was taken down.

Sometimes masters are leased to the label for a set period, then revert to the initial owner who, in this case, may have been Keith Olsen if he funded the album.

I'm sure I didn't buy the album at iTunes. Actually all the files I have are mp3, not m4a. But very good sound quality, 256 kbps. Te file dates are 2012, so now I wonder how I got them, probably somebody who did buy the album shared the files, maybe here? I can't remember.

A bootleg version was released on iTunes in 2017, but was removed within a day.

I got that and it sounded off. I posted about it somewhere. It's on a backup drive but I don't keep it on my iTunes. The sound was bloody awful.

No woman should ever be referred to as a "ho" simply bc you take issue with the number of people they have slept with.
