Lindsey's thoughts on BN on cd... - Page 2

Mac Attack · #16 07-06-2011, 07:55 AM

I just think they BOTH don't want to go back there while they are Both still releasing new music. It would kind of be a distraction and possibly interfere with sales of the current CDs. They might do it when they "retire" and need some dough for a world cruise.

I think they're waiting until they're done with everything else, if that makes sense, so that can be their last hoorah, so to speak. Coming full circle and ending things how they began. We all know how Lindsey loves his cycles.

Could just be wishful thinking though.

Stevie recently said that Keith Olsen is also a "co-owner" and so they have to reach some sort of agreement with him to re-release it. She says it will happen.

Has anyone gotten Stevie to autograph the cover of BN? My friend and I caught up with her at the Oprah taping and she wouldn't do it.

She wouldn't? Did she say anything about it?

Sorry. I didn't mean that to sound as if I was having a go at you. I actually agree with you and think that Stevie may well give that as an actual reason and if she does then I wouldn't accept it as a reason from her.

The moment they officially remaster and re-release Buckingham Nicks on CD is the moment the cult of this record diminishes or dies. Do they really want BN to lose its novelty and mystique?? Most everyone who loves or cares about this record has a digital rip of it from some source (the links jeffd8382 provided in this thread are superior and highly recommended - thanks Jeff!) So yeah, they would have to put out a special package (with extras) of some sort if it were to be released, and that would take some effort and agreement from all camps involved. A label & distribution deal would have to be secured, which obviously is more challenging these days. IDK, it feels to me that the opportunity has sorta passed. I'll be happy, but shocked if the day actually comes. With CD sales in steep decline, remasters are becoming even more of a rarity and more like a liability for labels unless there is great demand & great possibility for a decent profit

Sadly, it's going to take one of them leaving this plane of existence before that'll be officially released.

I can't recall off the top of my head now the reason(s) why they said BN didn't sell back in the day, what was the reason? The record label? It seemed to me that the record and them were only popular in certain pockets of the country like Alabama of all places in the deep south.

I agree with you though on the mystique dieing if they release BN. I wonder though if part of their feelings are; "Well...... (gotta get a Stevie well in there) if it didn't sell back in the day why would we want to release it now?" Meaning if it wasn't good enough then to be appreciated and sell why now when their fame would be the main factor for it selling and back to what you said about the mystique.

If you read between their lines they both are skating around the answers to questions about it. And, sadly, it may very well mean both of them passing over before it comes out.....unless it's tied up in wills....but you know someone is invariably going to get greedy and want money from releasing it.

My thoughts exactly. We have the songs. Do people actually think it's going to be a gold selling album and Lindsey and Stevie will emerge as the hottest new duo on the scene? I mean come on people, they've given enough with FM and solo careers. Listen to your BN CD/digital rips and get over it. The only thing that would be great would be a BN tour but hello, we have that just with Mick and John. Throw some BN cuts in there to satisfy your needs and there you have it.

OK I do love these two but they are beginning to frustrate me in terms of this record. Everytime I see an interview with them about this they always blame it not coming out on the other one

! I have heard all of the Buckingham Nicks songs thanks to some people on this board

and youtube and am kind of in love with them

! Now if they did what you said (adding extra songs and what not) there's a chance that many people would buy it. Especially those that really have only heard of the record but not actually have heard it, if that makes sense. or people who only listened to the album back when it was first released might see it, and pick it up for nostalgia reasons. And I'm more than sure that if they sell it people are going to see their two names and faces on the cover, know who they are and want to check out the album. Which would help boost sales. I don't know

. I guess I'm just trying to remain positive because I really, really, really want this album to come out.

chiliD · #27 07-06-2011, 11:59 AM

Ok, my question is, why bother with paying for it when there are EXCELLENT versions out in Webweb land to download for free...INCLUDING the unused demos, live tracks, etc?

YOU HAVE the Buckingham Nicks album available to you already, why would you WISH to give up your hard earned cash for it? If you "need" to hold it in your hands, burn it to disc...use somebody's "light scribe" to etch artwork onto the disc itself...use a jewel case labelling software to recreate the album artwork. It's a "DIY" world now.

The reason Lindsey & Stevie DON'T release it is that for all intents, it HAS been released...those who want/wanted it, HAVE IT. They don't have to invest (read: risk) their own money 1) to recreate the artwork for a CD package, 2)compile/remix/remaster the songs, 3) find a label to distribute it....THEN have to track its sales. They'd be losing money in the long run. It's more financially sound to NOT release it.

And, from what I've read, the original multi-track master tapes of the album are in seriously bad shape...from what Keith Olsen has said, they'd only survive one or two runs (IF that) through the tape machine and they'd be destroyed.

The real reason: the cover.
Stevie probably wants her frilly blouse airbrushed on. Lindsey's probably yammering about art (although he wouldn't mind airbrushing the slight man boobs).

I have the album cover as part of my living room decor. People think (rightly so) that I'm a bit... touched.

I have a BN album autographed by both Lindsey and Stevie...
