Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham Plan To Release The Remastered Version Of Their 1973 Album

After weeks of teasing fans with cryptic social media posts, legendary Fleetwood Mac members Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham have confirmed what fans were hoping for. The long-sought-after 1973 album from their pre-Fleetwood Mac project Buckingham Nicks is finally coming back in a newly mastered reissue. The announcement, made on August 13, has set the rock community abuzz with what is reportedly the first collaboration between these two since their days in Fleetwood Mac.

The self-titled LP Buckingham Nicks, released in 1973 before the duo joined Fleetwood Mac the following year, is of cult status in the annals of recorded music. Although it did not receive a great deal of commercial respect when first released, it eventually became something of a cult classic, highly sought after by collectors and greatly appreciated by die-hard fans. Over 50 years after its original release, a remastered version of the album is set for an official CD and digital release in September.

Hints about the reunion slipped out in July when Stevie, 77, and Lindsey, 75, posted corresponding handwritten verses of "Frozen Love," a gem from the collection." Stevie wrote, "And if you go forward," and a few seconds later, Lindsey answered, "I'll meet you there." The dual announcement set the internet alight, fans studying the posts and frantically trying to work out what might be on its way. In an added twist of intrigue, Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood chimed in with a timely video praising the duo for their "beautiful" creative connection. "The marriage of Stevie and Lindsey, the magic of coming into Fleetwood Mac when they did, it's all in the song. It was magic then, magic now. What a thrill," he remarked.

And so more than just a blip on the radar of pop culture, the remastered edition is a moment of reconnection for two artists whose collective past echoes with stunning brilliance and tragic discord. For those who want to hear the real thing, if only for two songs, the release of this album will allow both older fans and newcomers to experience some of the pre-Fleetwood Mac magic that first brought Nicks and Buckingham together.

For those familiar solely with Fleetwood Mac's popular songs, Buckingham Nicks provides a close look at the beginnings of one of rock's most legendary collaborations. This will be like a moment frozen in time, finally being unearthed for the generation of fans who have been eagerly awaiting this highly anticipated remaster. On September 19, the magic Mick Fleetwood described will be allowed a new chance to sparkle, and this time, in audiophile-quality sound.
