Buckingham Nicks (1973) [Complete LP]

One Of Our Deleted Albums Series

Buckingham Nicks was released on Anthem Records in 1973 by Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.

This was the album which brought Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks to the attention of Fleetwood Mac and resulted in Buckingham and Nicks joining Fleetwood Mac and making their debut with Fleetwood Mac on the 1975 release, Fleetwood Mac.

This album featured the original recording of Crystal, which was re-recorded for the Fleetwood Mac album in 1975.

This is a first rate album but, for some reason, it has been out of print for decades.

The vinyl LP I took this audio from is a 1975 Canadian pressing on Quality Records (catalog number SV 1926), released after the Fleetwood Mac album had catapulted Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks to fame.
