Buckingham Nicks (reissue, 1973)
RHINO
7/10

Fabled sketchbook for Fleetwood Mac’s imperial phase, reissued after so many lost decades.

TAKE it with a pinch of salt, but it’s a tough time to be a Fleetwood Mac fan. Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks are still at loggerheads after the guitarist was turfed out of the band in 2018 – Nicks declared she was “no longer willing to work with him”; he suffered a heart attack soon after being fired – and the window has all but shut on a Fleetwood Ma classic lineup reunion now that each member is pushing 80 and Christine McVie has gone.

Holograms could be the answer.

But before the credits roll on this most enduring rock’n’roll saga, a key chapter in the band’s origin story from a more harmonious time 52 years ago is finally being reissued. Buckingham

Nicks, the mythologised 1973 folk-rock debut by Buckingham Nicks, as Lindsey and Stevie were known back then, has been cleaned up and remastered from the original tapes and is in print for the first time since 1982, and on streaming services and CD for the first time (there’s also a limited vinyl edition with two reissued 7″ singles).

In some ways, this offers a sense of closure: let’s put it out properly before it’s too late.

Why such a pivotal record in Fleetwood Mac’s history has been ignored for so long does lead you to question the pair’s affection for the material. Surely any scheduling or legal issues preventing the release could have been resolved at any point over the past 40 years if they’d wanted it out, especially given the band’s multi-generational appeal this century. Indeed, it’s such fandom that has kept Buckingham Nicks alive all this time, when it pretty much sank without trace upon release and fared little better when reissued in 1977 and ’81 in attempts to capitalise on the Mac’s global domination.

Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are ‘reuniting’ – here’s why it’s such a big deal | Metro

Fleetwood Mac’s estranged lovers Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham have once again added to the intrigue surrounding their relationship – this time with an LA billboard. 

The famously acrimonious former bandmates caused fans to ‘crash out’ with a matching pair of social media posts last week. 

The lead singer, 77, and former guitarist, 75, seemed to imply the almost decade-long rupture between them might finally be at an end.

On Nick’s account, she posted the lyrics from the 1973 hit Frozen Love: ‘And if you go forward’ which comes from Buckingham Nicks’ only album as a duo.

Then Buckingham completed the line with his own post reading: ‘I’ll meet you there.’

Conspicuously, the news comes after rumours circulated in recent months that Buckingham’s marriage to Kristen Messner is finally over for good, after she initially filed for divorce in 2021. The pair were married in 2000 and share three children. 

The mysterious posts from Buckingham and Nicks sent generations of fans into a tailspin of speculation. Are the pair reuniting musically? Or romantically? Are they going to re-release Buckingham Nicks after all these years? 

The latter seems more likely than ever after a billboard appeared above Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles on Monday featuring the cover of the 1973 album. 

Social media posts shared images of the billboard, which features both Nicks and Buckingham topless, alongside their names, the LP title, and the date Sept. 19.

The pair, who joined Fleetwood Mac as a couple in December 1974, are the stars of one of the most famous love (and hate) stories in music history. 

The band’s chart-topping, iconic studio album Rumours was written during their breakup in the 1970s, immortalising it for all time. 

They last performed on stage together in January 2018, with reports of a significant disagreement between the pair over their working schedule sealing the deal on their professional breakup.

After bandmate Christine McVie’s death in November 2022, the band seemed pretty set on never reuniting on stage, with Stevie focusing on her successful solo career.

But now, it seems like there may be another chapter to Buckingham and Nicks’ story before the book is closed for good. 

Here’s everything you need to know about the dramatic history of Stevie Nicks and Mick Fleetwood’s relationship.

Fleetwood Mac album 50th celebration releases

Leave a comment

Rhino have lined up three releases of the 1975 Fleetwood Mac album to celebrate 50 years since original release.

First off we have a Dolby Atmos blu-ray release of the album

Fleetwood Mac (Atmos)(Blu-ray)

50th Anniversary Release
First-Ever Dolby Atmos Mix 

The Blu-ray audio edition features a new Dolby ATMOS mix by Chris James, delivering a fully immersive experience of this classic album. It also includes a 5.1 surround mix by original producer Ken Caillat and Claus Trelby.

Released on July 11, 1975, Fleetwood Mac was the band’s tenth studio album and the second named after the group, sharing its title with their 1968 debut. Often referred to by fans as ‘The White Album,’ it also introduced Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks into the group’s core lineup, joining Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, and Christine McVie. The chemistry between the five was immediate—and transformative. The album’s sound marked a break from the band’s blues-based roots, pivoting toward a melodic, harmony-rich approach that would come to define a generation of FM radio.

Christine McVie’s “Over My Head” was the first single from the album and the band’s first U.S. Top 20 hit. It was followed by “Rhiannon,” “Say You Love Me,” and “Landslide,” tracks that remain among the most beloved in the band’s catalog. While initial momentum was modest, the album gained traction through constant touring and word of mouth. Fifteen months after its release, Fleetwood Mac reached #1 on the Billboard 200 and went on to sell over 7 million copies in the U.S. alone.

Available via Amazon UK and This is Dig

In addition, Rhino will also release two High Fidelity releases of the album

With Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham on board, Fleetwood Mac’s 1975 self-titled White Album was the first record by what became the band’s most beloved and successful line-up. “It was where all the planets aligned for us,” said Christine McVie

One evening in January 1975, at El Carmen, a Mexican restaurant in
West Hollywood, John and Christine McVie were sitting at a table, with their margaritas, waiting for their bandmate Mick Fleetwood. Nervous anticipation was in the air, as they were all about to conduct what Fleetwood called a “chemistry test”. It was part one of an audition for two prospective new members of the band. A few months after hearing some tracks on this duo’s album, Buckingham Nicks, Fleetwood had invited the guitarist to join Fleetwood Mac, to replace the departing Bob Welch. But Lindsey Buckingham made it clear that he wouldn’t go anywhere without his musical partner and girlfriend, Stephanie Nicks.

Fleetwood drove them both to the restaurant. Christine McVie would later recall to Rolling Stone: “Mick said to me before the meeting: ‘Chris, if you don’t like the girl, then it’s not going to happen.’ I had never been in a band with another girl before, so it was important.” As Buckingham and Nicks entered the restaurant, Christine was first struck by their physical appearances. “When Lindsey walked in I said to myself: “Wow, this guy is a god.’ And then Stevie walked in, laughing, so cute and so tiny, and I took an instant liking to her. She had this wonderful laugh and a fantastic sense of humour ore.” At the end of a drunken evening, Christine leaned over to Fleetwood and said: “Let’s do this.”

“Lindsey and Stevie were asked to play with us without ever playing
a note,” Fleetwood said in the sleeve-notes of Fleetwood Mac Deluxe. “It’s almost insane in retrospect considering the high risk, but
somehow Christine and all of us just knew.”

Fleetwood Mac in the late 70s

Tuesday’s announcement says the untitled doc will see Fleetwood Mac “share their extraordinary story in their own words,” adding that the film will feature never-before-seen footage, exclusive new interviews, and archival interviews of the late Christine McVie. (McVie died in 2022. She was 79.)

Losing sweet Christine was catastrophic | MOJO

Are Fleetwood Mac really finished, Bob Mehr asked Mick Fleetwood

FOR MICK FLEETWOOD – the one constant figure and unwavering force during the entire 57-year journey of Fleetwood Mac – the last few years have been, by his own admission, a personal and professional challenge.

When the most recent incarnation of Fleetwood Mac – Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks, aided by Neil Finn and Mike Campbell – played the last show of a year-long world tour in November 2019, the drummer didn’t think it would be a final farewell.

“There was a full intention, without waiting too long, that we’d go and pick things back up,” says Fleetwood. “That we’d play stadiums, big shows and festivals….. and then at that point it was heading towards us saying goodbye.”

However, in early 2020 – just after Fleetwood led an all-star concert tribute to late Mac founder Peter Green at the London Palladium – lockdown scuttled further touring plans.

An even bigger blow to the future of Fleetwood Mac came in November of 2022, with the death of Christine McVie.

Though Fleetwood is open to the idea of adding a final chapter to the band’s story (see main piece), he is mostly resigned to the fact that Fleetwood Mac, or as he puts it “the mothership”, may be harboured permanently.

“It’s been a strange time for me,” admits Fleetwood. “Losing sweet Christine was catastrophic. And then, in my world, sort of losing the band too. And I [split] with my partner as well. I just found myself sort of licking my wounds.”

Lindsey Buckingham says he would return to Fleetwood Mac “in a heartbeat, absolutely” | NME

By Liberty Dunworth

He also added that his replacement in the line-up “disrespected the legacy” the band had built

Lindsey Buckingham has reflected on his time in Fleetwood Mac and revealed that he would rejoin the line-up “in a heartbeat”.

The comments from the artist arose during a new interview with Conan O’Brien for SiriusXM, in which Buckingham recalled the legacy of the band and his departure from the line-up in 2018.

Currently, the future of Fleetwood Mac hangs in the balance, following the death of longtime member Christine McVie. The singer, songwriter and keyboardist died in November 2022 aged 79 “following a short illness”. It was later revealed that her death was primarily caused by suffering an ischemic stroke.

The musician had also been diagnosed with “metastatic malignancy of unknown primary origin”, meaning cancer cells had been detected in her body.

While it remains uncertain whether or not the band will continue without McVie, Buckingham has said that he would be open to the idea if the opportunity arose.

“In a heartbeat, absolutely,” he responded to O’Brien when asked if he would consider rejoining (via Far Out). “If there’s more to come [from Fleetwood Mac], if there’s a way to heal that, that would be great. It would be very appropriate to close on a more circular note.” Continue reading Lindsey Buckingham says he would return to Fleetwood Mac “in a heartbeat, absolutely” | NME →
