BUCKINGHAM NICKS
COLLECTION WORTHY .....CLEAN....44 years ago FIRST PRINT
Sought after original 1973 first pressing vinyl in thick gatefold cover, this lone album cut by a young and ambitious and romantically attached Stevi Nicks with great nude photo color feather and Lindsey Buckingham a short two years before joining Fleetwood Mac is well worth digging out for your turntable.
The small backing band includes legendary percussionist Jim Keltner and original Electric Prunes bassist Mark Tullin
Never released on CD ...There are a few CD versions floating around, but they were burned from vinyl copies, so don t be fooled. Considering what the duo was to later accomplish, Buckingham Nicks is an engaging listen and served as a proving ground of sorts for both artists songwriting chops and for Buckingham s skills as an emerging studio craftsman. It was a good enough r sum for Fleetwood Mac, who re-recorded the beautifully cerebral Crystal when the duo joined them in 1975 only to spiral into superstardom.
Buckingham Nicks is a beautifully crafted album, back in the early 70 s, when they were waiting tables and cleaning apartments, this, their only album is as fresh and beautiful today as when it was originally released, some 44 years ago. Nicks and Buckingham were in love, and their harmonies here soar differently than they have managed since their merger with Fleetwood Mac. Diehard Mac fans know that Crystal and Don t Let Me Down Again were originally on this album. Stevi as misprinted on the LP sang with beautiful youth - her trademark raspy voice more tender than in later years. Her songs Crying In The Night , Long Distance Winner , and Races Are Run are exquisite. Buckingham s guitar playing is exceptional and is showcased on instrumentals as well as extended solos - the highlight of which is on the incredible 7 minute duet Frozen Love - The song which ultimately resulted in the duo being asked to join Fleetwood Mac. Why commercial success tends to come well after such a triumph is hard to understand. This album, however, is a success in every aspect.
Why is it not available on compact disc ? Nicks and Buckingham jointly own the rights to it Nicks wants it released on CD, but Buckingham, for whatever reason, does not, making a clean vinyl original all the more worthwhile.
