Buckingham Nicks is the only studio anthology by the American rock duo Buckingham Nicks. Produced by Keith Olsen, the anthology was released in September 1973 by Polydor Records. Buckingham Nicks is notable as an early commercial collaboration between Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, both of whom afterward joined Fleetwood Mac.

The album was a commercial failure on its original release,[three] [4] and despite the duo'south subsequent success, it has yet to be commercially remastered or re-released digitally.[5]

Groundwork [edit]

Prior to recording the album Buckingham Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks performed together in the band the Fritz Rabyne Memorial Band.[6] [7] The pair met while they were both attending Menlo-Atherton Loftier Schoolhouse in Atherton, California, south of San Francisco. At the time, Nicks was a senior in loftier schoolhouse and Buckingham, 1 yr younger than she, was a junior.[viii] According to Nicks, they first met at a casual, after-school Young Life gathering in 1966.[7] [9] Nicks and Buckingham found themselves harmonizing to what some accounts merits was a Beach Boys song, although Nicks herself claims they sang "California Dreamin'," a hit single by the Mamas and the Papas, in an interview she gave with The Source in 1981.[eight] [nine] Nonetheless, Nicks and Buckingham did non interact again for another ii years.[9] In 1968, Buckingham invited Nicks to sing in Fritz, a band he was playing bass guitar for with some of his loftier schoolhouse friends.[9] Nicks talks about joining Fritz in an interview with Us Magazine from 1988:

I met Lindsey when I was a senior in high school and he was a inferior, and we sang a vocal together at some after-school function. Two years later on, in 1968, he called me and asked me if I wanted to exist in a rock & whorl band. I had been playing guitar and singing pretty much totally folk-oriented stuff. So I joined the band, and within a couple of weeks we were opening for really big shows: Jefferson Plane, Janis Joplin. Of a sudden I was in rock & scroll.[ix]

Although Nicks and Buckingham never performed their ain original music while in Fritz, the band provided them with the opportunity to gain feel on stage, performing in front of crowds while opening for wildly successful rock and roll acts.[9] Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin of Large Blood brother and the Holding Visitor and Jimi Hendrix, whom Fritz also opened for, would all testify influential on Nicks and her developing phase persona.[10] The ring manager, David Forrester, worked hard to secure a record deal for Fritz, despite their sound differing from the harder, psychedelic music of their more than popular contemporaries.[eleven] The pair connected to perform with Fritz for three years until the ring finally dissolved in 1971.[11] Having developed a romantic relationship in addition to their working partnership, Nicks and Buckingham decided shortly afterwards to motion from San Francisco to Los Angeles to pursue their dreams of being signed.[11]

Recording and production [edit]

While however performing with Fritz, Nicks had attended San Jose State University, studying Spoken communication Communication.[half-dozen] Buckingham joined her at college, also managing to balance schoolhouse and music.[6] In 1972, the two continued to write songs, recording demo tapes at night in Daly City on a one-half-inch four-track Ampex record motorcar Buckingham kept at the coffee roasting institute belonging to his father.[12] [xiii] They decided to drib out of college and move to Los Angeles to pursue a record deal.[six] Taking the Ampex record machine with them, they continued recording songs.[13] Nicks worked several jobs, as a hostess at Bob's Big Boy,[14] [15] a waitress at Clementine's[sixteen] [17] [xviii] and equally a cleaning lady for her tape producer, Keith Olsen,[19] and so as to support herself and Buckingham financially;[xx] [21] they had decided that it would exist all-time for him non to work and to instead focus on honing his guitar technique.[9] [22] It was non long earlier Nicks and Buckingham met engineer and producer Keith Olsen as well as the coincidental entrepreneurs Ted Feigin and Lee Lasseff.[11] These ii had endemic White Whale Records and more recently started a production company called Canticle Records. Buckingham and Nicks played some of their music for Olsen, Feigin and Lasseff and the three were impressed with what they heard.[11] Before long afterwards that, Lasseff was able to secure a distribution deal with Polydor.[xi] Nicks discusses this series of events in an interview with The Island Ear in 1994:

We had some great demos. We shopped around. Over a catamenia of time we got a deal with Polydor and made our first album, Buckingham Nicks. We had a sense of taste of the big time. We had great musicians in a big, grand studio. We were happening. Things were going our way. Merely up until that point I had been thinking of quitting it all and going dorsum to school considering I was sick of beingness miserable and I hate being poor.[9]

Waddy Wachtel was one of the musicians hired to aid in recording the album.[11] He discusses his human relationship with producer Keith Olsen, as well as his human relationship with Nicks and Buckingham, on his website:

Then Keith and I started working together. This was in similar '68, '69 probably. And that's - from then on - that's when things started happening. That'due south where Keith (Olsen) 1 day came and said, "I'k bringing this couple downward from North California, named Stevie and Lindsey. And I want you to play on their record." I played on the Buckingham Nicks record. The three of united states became very tight, tight friends. We were always together.[23]

Promotion [edit]

In 1973, Nicks spent $111 ($678 in 2022 dollars[24]) on a white blouse[25] for the embrace shoot, but the photographer, Jimmy Wachtel, and Buckingham coerced Nicks to take her peak off when shooting the embrace.[16] [21] [26] Nicks after recounted:

I was crying when nosotros took that picture. And Lindsey was mad at me. He said, 'Yous know, yous're just existence a child. This is art.' And I'thousand going, 'This is non art. This is me taking a nude photograph with y'all, and I don't dig it.'[half-dozen]

I thought, 'Who are you lot? Don't you lot know me?' ... I couldn't breathe. Just I did it because I felt like a rat in a trap.[27]

Despite their efforts, Buckingham Nicks was virtually ignored by the promotional staff at Polydor Records.[eleven] Cheers, however, to airplay past several Birmingham, Alabama disc jockeys, the album got well-received exposure during the WJLN-FM[28] progressive rock evening hours, and the duo managed to cultivate a relatively small and concentrated fan base of operations in that marketplace. Elsewhere in the land, the anthology did not prove to be commercially successful and was soon deleted from the label's catalog.[xi] Disheartened, Nicks and Buckingham would spend much of the balance of 1973 standing to piece of work exterior of the music manufacture to pay rent, with manager Martin Pichinson releasing them from their management contract.[11]

However, shortly after the anthology'due south release, Mick Fleetwood, while evaluating recording studios, heard "Frozen Love" played back through studio monitors at Sound City by Keith Olsen.[29] Fleetwood would go on to invite the duo to bring together his band, Fleetwood Mac, on New Year'south Eve 1974.[22] Afterwards, Buckingham met with Fleetwood and Christine and John McVie at the Mexican restaurant El Carmen, with Nicks later joining the group after her waitress shift at Clementine's, still wearing her flapper costume.[30] [31] [32]

Tour [edit]

Nicks and Buckingham went on tour that year in the American Due south to promote Buckingham Nicks.[eleven] Bootlegged recordings from two concerts in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, Alabama accept surfaced on the internet.[17] These tours featured early performances of "Rhiannon", "Sorcerer", and "Monday Morning", too as "Lola (My Love)", "Frozen Love", and "Don't Allow Me Downwards Again".

The touring band consisted of bassist Tom Moncrieff, who later played bass on Nicks' beginning solo album Bella Donna, and drummer Gary "Hoppy" Hodges, who played drums on the album. Waddy Wachtel also toured with the ring.

Moncrieff and Hodges later formed the band Sinai 48 with a new vocalist-songwriter duo in 2006, marking the beginning reunion of whatsoever Buckingham Nicks members bated from the connected collaboration of Buckingham and Nicks.

Prospects of re-release [edit]

Despite the international success that Nicks and Buckingham after accomplished, Buckingham Nicks has never been officially released on CD. It has since been widely bootlegged, including 1 bootleg re-create titled Buckingham Nicks: Palatial Edition from Due south Korea.[33] This version adds 12 extra tracks which were all recorded past Buckingham Nicks at effectually the same menstruum as the Buckingham Nicks anthology, simply were not included on the album. A re-create of this album allegedly sourced from the master tapes (equally opposed to a copy taken from vinyl) has also surfaced online.

Two of the anthology'due south ten songs accept been issued on CD: "Long Altitude Winner" was released every bit role of Nicks' Enchanted box set; and "Stephanie" turned up on a promotional-only CD release past Buckingham entitled Words and Music (A Retrospective), although this was from a vinyl transfer equally well. Another song from the album, "Crystal", was recorded by the revamped Fleetwood Mac for the group'due south 1975 quantum LP, Fleetwood Mac, and was besides recorded by Nicks herself for the soundtrack to the 1998 film Practical Magic. "Don't Allow Me Downwardly Again" was recorded by Fleetwood Mac for their 1980 live album, as information technology was performed several times on bout to support the Fleetwood Mac album, along with "Frozen Love". Additionally, Buckingham performed "Stephanie" on his One Homo Show bout in 2012. "Stephanie" is as well featured on the accompanying live anthology, 1 Man Show. Nicks performed "Cryin' in the Dark" for the first time since 1973[34] on her 24 Karat Gilded bout in 2016.

In an interview on WRLT 100.ane Nashville from September 11, 2006, Buckingham expressed interest in seeing the album released on CD. He as well suggested the possibility of a future joint Lindsey Buckingham-Stevie Nicks tour in the adjacent few years to support the prospective re-release. Backing musicians Moncrieff and Hodges have also expressed interest in reuniting with Buckingham and Nicks for a future tour.

In an interview with NME in August 2011, Lindsey Buckingham reiterated his interest in giving the album an official CD release. Regarding the long wait, he stated: "It'southward been a victim of inertia. Nosotros accept every intention of putting that album back out and perchance even doing something along with information technology."[35] In December 2012, Nicks was hopeful that a 40th ceremony edition of Buckingham Nicks would be released in 2013, claiming that at least one unreleased song from the sessions could be included on the release.[36]

In a December 2012 interview with CBS Local,[37] Buckingham talks about the possibility of an official CD release in 2013:

Stevie and I have been hanging out a little bit lately, and nosotros've been talking about that. I remember that's something that would happen this twelvemonth every bit well. Oddly enough, I hate to even say it, I think the 40th ceremony of that is next yr. Jeez! Is that possible? So we've been talking virtually it. Of course, we've been talking about information technology off and on for a long time, but Stevie seems really into the thought. So yeah, I would say yep.[37]
