New Article: Buckingham Nicks in 2-3 years?

Old album reissued?

By JANE STEVENSON

Anyone who has followed the long musical and personal saga of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks knows that they made an excellent 1973 album, Buckingham Nicks, which was a commercial failure but has since regained cult status.

It was also re-issued in 1976 when the two hit it big after they joined Fleetwood Mac. However, it's never been released on CD, something Buckingham thinks could happen in the next couple of years with a possible tour behind it for the one-time lovers.

"If it is going to happen it would probably happen in the next two, three years," Buckingham said.

"It's sort of a symptom of the fact that the band spends long periods of time apart, that Stevie and I don't talk a lot, that people who are 'the handlers' tend to think that there will be an optimum time to do that that will coincide with a marketing plan."

Does Buckingham, now married with three kids, mean a tour with Nicks to support its CD release?

"That could certainly happen, that would be fun," said Buckingham, currently on his own solo tour and beginning rehearsals in January for a Fleetwood Mac tour.

"Do we have enough material? Yes, we do. It would be its own hook, the two of us up there, it would be this complete circular thing, bringing us back to where we were in 1974, which has a poetry all its own.

"But again, the people who think in terms of marketing are thinking, 'Okay, but we have to do it at a time when we can remaster it and bonus tracks and all of this kind of stuff.' I would just re-release it myself because it is what it is!"

The story on why this album hasn't been released continues to go in circles! It's "the people who think in terms of marketing" that are at fault now!

Frozen Love live would pretty much be my dream come true.

That's really all I have to say. I'm happy with the album in mp3 format, but if they rerelease it... then they can do a tour... and then Frozen Love... :love: Joy. Not to mention a bunch of other songs that are different from their usual sets.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I've heard all the rumours & excuses for the last 20+ years

^ I agree...... I don't know if it will be THAT soon if ever... but who know...it could happen

we have just been hearing this back and forth talk about the album for so many years that I would hate for anyone to give their hopes up...

I have an FM live version of Frozen Love, if anyone wants it.

That's what I thought they should have sung together when Stevie appeared as a guest on his Soundstage performance. One of their most masterful songs, making a welcome return after an absence of almost thirty years. But no, they had to sing "Say Goodbye" for the one hundredth time. I guess performing it for a year and a half straight on the Say You Will tour wasn't enough.

It's the same thing Stevie does with songs like "Enchanted", which are no more popular than scads of other neglected songs, yet she sings them to death year after year.

^ I agree 100%

They're excuse that they can only play songs that keep the casual fan portion of the audience engaged just doesn't hold water when they do songs like Say Goodbye and Enchanted every flippin time out.

Fleetwoodtrick, I'd be interested in that track if you don't mind.

I didn't know FM ever did that one... Maybe there's hope for the upcoming tour...

OK... well... maybe not hope, per se...

You know I thought the samething "Say Goodbye" and "Never Going Back Again", whats up with that! I guess because it was LB' s show, but still. When Stevie threw in that little solo vocal on LB's Soundstage, everyone went NUTS, but Lindsey to me just didnt look like he was going for it. I hope that all of this comes to pass, but how many times has this topic been brought up and "nothing ever changes". (no punt intended) I hope though, I hope...

Patience is a virtue...it's all about the timing...

omigodstevie · #12 10-08-2008, 09:11 PM

How rad would that be? I'd love to see them get back together as Buckingham Nicks...I wasn't alive for the last time, haha

wildheart048 · #13 10-09-2008, 03:15 AM

This is awesome news, but between the Soundstage/Live in Chicago release changes and the FM tour/possible new cd I am a bit burned out on promises...

but I would kill to see a live B/N show and the release (and, sorry Linds, of course I'd buy it if released as is, I'd absolutely love it with some bonus tracks!!

)

UndoingTheLaces · #14 10-10-2008, 05:33 PM

I think it would be really neat to have remastered bonus tracks on it, like Without You and Cathouse Blues. Imagine if they thew a bunch of those into the set also.

Agreed. Id love for them to release it, along with the upcomming fleetwoodmac shows, do a coupple songs from it, and sell it at the stands with the t-shirts.
