Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham have confirmed that their 1973 album Buckingham Nicks will finally be reissued on CD and digitally on September 19. The 1973 album, released before Buckingham and Nicks joined Fleetwood Mac in 1974, is the pair’s only studio album as a duo, and has largely unavailable for decades.
Buckingham and Nicks teased the release prior to announcing the news, starting when Nicks shared a social media post in her own handwriting that said “And if you go forward,” and Buckingham posting shortly afterwards that said “I’ll meet you there.” A billboard depicting the two of them from the 1973 album later appeared on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles.
The reissue has been sourced from original analog master tapes for its vinyl return, along with hi-res digital files for its CD and digital release, which was remastered by Chris Bellman. The release will also feature several vinyl color variants — custard available on Amazon, baby pink available at indie stores, Violet available at Books a Million and baby blue available at general retail stores.
Ahead of the release, “Crying in the Night” – written by Nicks – is available digitally; stream the track HERE.
