For the first time in over 50 years, Buckingham Nicks, the sole album from Fleetwood Mac bandmates (and then on-and-off lovers) Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, will be getting a reissue on September 19.
After seemingly teasing a long-awaited band reunion earlier this month, it was later revealed that the announcement was actually about the album being reissued, sourced directly from the original analog master tapes.
Long out of print, the 1973 record has developed a cult following over the decades. Originally released on September 5, 1973, it was recorded in Los Angeles but failed commercially, prompting their label, Polydor, to drop them. The 10-track album ultimately served as a precursor to the duo joining one of the most influential bands in rock history.
The reissue, part of the Rhino High Fidelity series, is pressed on 180-gram vinyl and limited to 5,000 individually numbered copies. A special edition of 2,000 will include replicas of two 7-inch singles: “Crying in the Night” b/w “Stephanie” and “Don’t Let Me Down Again” b/w “Races Are Run.”
For non-vinyl collectors, the album will also be available digitally and on CD.
