Released in 1973 by Polydor, Buckingham Nicks was a commercial flop but pivotal in music history. Recorded at Sound City Studios with producer Keith Olsen, it featured session musicians like Jim Keltner. Mick Fleetwood discovered the duo through “Frozen Love,” leading to their 1974 recruitment into Fleetwood Mac. Tracks like “Crystal” later appeared on Fleetwood Mac albums, cementing the album’s legacy.
The reissue brings a rare gem back to fans, previously available only through bootlegs or pricey vinyl. Its folk rock sound and iconic cover (controversial for its topless imagery) capture Buckingham and Nicks’ early artistry, offering a glimpse into the roots of Fleetwood Mac’s iconic lineup.
