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

The album was a commercial failure on its original release,[3] [iv] and despite the duo's subsequent success, it has yet to be commercially remastered or re-released digitally.[v]

Background [edit]

Prior to recording the anthology Buckingham Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks performed together in the band the Fritz Rabyne Memorial Ring.[six] [7] The pair met while they were both attending Menlo-Atherton High School in Atherton, California, south of San Francisco. At the time, Nicks was a senior in high schoolhouse and Buckingham, one year younger than she, was a junior.[8] According to Nicks, they get-go met at a coincidental, later-school Young Life gathering in 1966.[7] [nine] Nicks and Buckingham found themselves harmonizing to what some accounts claim was a Beach Boys song, although Nicks herself claims they sang "California Dreamin'," a hit single past the Mamas and the Papas, in an interview she gave with The Source in 1981.[viii] [ix] Nonetheless, Nicks and Buckingham did not interact again for another two years.[ix] In 1968, Buckingham invited Nicks to sing in Fritz, a ring he was playing bass guitar for with some of his high school 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 junior, and we sang a vocal together at some afterward-school function. Two years after, in 1968, he called me and asked me if I wanted to exist in a stone & roll band. I had been playing guitar and singing pretty much totally folk-oriented stuff. And then I joined the band, and inside a couple of weeks we were opening for really big shows: Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin. All of a sudden I was in rock & roll.[nine]

Although Nicks and Buckingham never performed their own original music while in Fritz, the band provided them with the opportunity to gain experience on phase, performing in forepart of crowds while opening for wildly successful rock and whorl acts.[9] Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin of Large Brother and the Belongings Company and Jimi Hendrix, whom Fritz as well opened for, would all prove influential on Nicks and her developing stage persona.[10] The band manager, David Forrester, worked hard to secure a tape bargain for Fritz, despite their sound differing from the harder, psychedelic music of their more popular contemporaries.[xi] The pair continued to perform with Fritz for iii years until the band finally dissolved in 1971.[11] Having developed a romantic human relationship in addition to their working partnership, Nicks and Buckingham decided shortly subsequently to motion from San Francisco to Los Angeles to pursue their dreams of being signed.[11]

Recording and production [edit]

While nevertheless performing with Fritz, Nicks had attended San Jose State University, studying Speech Communication.[half dozen] Buckingham joined her at higher, likewise managing to remainder school and music.[six] In 1972, the two continued to write songs, recording demo tapes at dark in Daly Metropolis on a half-inch four-track Ampex tape machine Buckingham kept at the coffee roasting plant belonging to his father.[12] [13] They decided to drib out of college and motility to Los Angeles to pursue a record bargain.[6] Taking the Ampex tape machine with them, they connected recording songs.[13] Nicks worked several jobs, as a hostess at Bob's Big Boy,[14] [15] a waitress at Clementine's[xvi] [17] [18] and equally a cleaning lady for her record producer, Keith Olsen,[nineteen] so as to support herself and Buckingham financially;[twenty] [21] they had decided that information technology would exist best for him not to piece of work and to instead focus on honing his guitar technique.[ix] [22] It was non long before Nicks and Buckingham met engineer and producer Keith Olsen too as the casual entrepreneurs Ted Feigin and Lee Lasseff.[11] These two had owned White Whale Records and more recently started a product company chosen Anthem Records. Buckingham and Nicks played some of their music for Olsen, Feigin and Lasseff and the 3 were impressed with what they heard.[11] Soon after that, Lasseff was able to secure a distribution bargain with Polydor.[eleven] Nicks discusses this series of events in an interview with The Island Ear in 1994:

We had some neat demos. Nosotros shopped effectually. Over a catamenia of fourth dimension we got a deal with Polydor and made our first anthology, Buckingham Nicks. Nosotros had a taste of the large fourth dimension. We had great musicians in a big, grand studio. Nosotros were happening. Things were going our way. But up until that point I had been thinking of quitting information technology all and going back to school because I was sick of being miserable and I hate existence poor.[nine]

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

So Keith and I started working together. This was in like '68, '69 probably. And that's - from then on - that's when things started happening. That's where Keith (Olsen) one day came and said, "I'1000 bringing this couple down from North California, named Stevie and Lindsey. And I desire y'all to play on their record." I played on the Buckingham Nicks tape. The three of us became very tight, tight friends. We were always together.[23]

Promotion [edit]

In 1973, Nicks spent $111 ($647 in 2020 dollars[24]) on a white blouse[25] for the cover shoot, simply the lensman, Jimmy Wachtel, and Buckingham coerced Nicks to have her top off when shooting the comprehend.[16] [21] [26] Nicks subsequently recounted:

I was crying when we took that picture. And Lindsey was mad at me. He said, 'You lot know, you're just being a child. This is art.' And I'm going, 'This is not art. This is me taking a nude photograph with you, and I don't dig it.'[6]

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

Despite their efforts, Buckingham Nicks was well-nigh ignored by the promotional staff at Polydor Records.[11] Thanks, however, to airplay by several Birmingham, Alabama disc jockeys, the anthology got well-received exposure during the WJLN-FM[28] progressive stone evening hours, and the duo managed to cultivate a relatively pocket-size and concentrated fan base of operations in that market. Elsewhere in the land, the album did non prove to be commercially successful and was soon deleted from the label's catalog.[11] Disheartened, Nicks and Buckingham would spend much of the residuum of 1973 continuing to work outside of the music industry to pay hire, with manager Martin Pichinson releasing them from their direction contract.[eleven]

However, shortly afterward the album's release, Mick Fleetwood, while evaluating recording studios, heard "Frozen Dear" played back through studio monitors at Sound City by Keith Olsen.[29] Fleetwood would go on to invite the duo to bring together his ring, 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 yr in the American Southward to promote Buckingham Nicks.[11] Bootlegged recordings from two concerts in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, Alabama have surfaced on the internet.[17] These tours featured early on performances of "Rhiannon", "Sorcerer", and "Monday Morning", besides every bit "Lola (My Love)", "Frozen Love", and "Don't Let Me Down Once again".

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

Moncrieff and Hodges after formed the band Sinai 48 with a new vocalizer-songwriter duo in 2006, mark the first reunion of whatsoever Buckingham Nicks members aside from the continued collaboration of Buckingham and Nicks.

It has since been widely bootlegged, including i bootleg copy titled Buckingham Nicks: Deluxe Edition from South Korea.[33] This version adds 12 actress tracks which were all recorded by Buckingham Nicks at around the aforementioned menstruum as the Buckingham Nicks album, merely were not included on the album. A copy of this album allegedly sourced from the master tapes (as opposed to a re-create taken from vinyl) has also surfaced online.

Two of the anthology's x songs take been issued on CD: "Long Distance Winner" was released as part of Nicks' Enchanted box fix; and "Stephanie" turned upwardly on a promotional-merely CD release by Buckingham entitled Words and Music (A Retrospective), although this was from a vinyl transfer too. Some other song from the album, "Crystal", was recorded by the revamped Fleetwood Mac for the grouping's 1975 breakthrough LP, Fleetwood Mac, and was besides recorded by Nicks herself for the soundtrack to the 1998 moving picture Practical Magic. "Don't Let Me Down Once again" was recorded by Fleetwood Mac for their 1980 live album, as information technology was performed several times on tour to support the Fleetwood Mac anthology, along with "Frozen Love". Additionally, Buckingham performed "Stephanie" on his One Human Show bout in 2012. "Stephanie" is besides featured on the accompanying live album, 1 Man Show. Nicks performed "Cryin' in the Night" for the first time since 1973[34] on her 24 Karat Golden tour in 2016.

In an interview on WRLT 100.one Nashville from September 11, 2006, Buckingham expressed interest in seeing the album released on CD. He also suggested the possibility of a time to come joint Lindsey Buckingham-Stevie Nicks bout in the side by side 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 look, he stated: "It's been a victim of inertia. We have every intention of putting that anthology back out and possibly even doing something along with it."[35] In December 2012, Nicks was hopeful that a 40th anniversary edition of Buckingham Nicks would exist released in 2013, challenge that at least one unreleased song from the sessions could exist included on the release.[36]

In a December 2012 interview with CBS Local,[37] Buckingham talks virtually 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 well-nigh that. I retrieve that's something that would happen this year also. Oddly enough, I hate to even say information technology, I recollect the 40th anniversary of that is next year. Jeez! Is that possible? So we've been talking about it. Of course, we've been talking virtually information technology off and on for a long time, but Stevie seems really into the thought. So yep, I would say yes.[37]
