The 50 Greatest Lost Albums

47. BUCKINGHAM NICKS
Buckingham Nicks

Misty-eyed Fleetwood Mac fans would call this 1973 debut by young lovers Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks a classic, but those who come to it having gorged on Rumours and Tusk might be underwhelmed.

What is remarkable about Buckingham Nicks is that there has never been a CD repress of this cult record. Perhaps the duo, who own the rights, would rather it stays that way. Certainly, Polydor washed its hands of the couple shortly after the LP flopped: longhaired and bell-bottomed, much of the pair's Cali folk was indistinguishable from that of fellow LA minstrels. Nevertheless, "Without A Leg To Stand ON" and "Long Distance Winner" are superb, displaying the flair that convinced Mick Fleetwood to invite them to join his rudderless outfit in 1974.

Expect to pay: £30 for a mint vinyl copy

A slightly harsh review of the album IMHO... Maybe, after reading this, Stevie will stop pissing about with another Rumours re-hash and we might get BN released? *crosses fingers*
