‘Buckingham Nicks’ bombed in 1973. Then it became used vinyl treasure
SUMMARY: In 1973, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, then a young couple, released their only album together, *Buckingham Nicks*, featuring their harmonies and Buckingham’s guitar. The album initially failed commercially, leading to their label dropping them. However, drummer Mick Fleetwood discovered their music and invited them to join Fleetwood Mac, which launched their legendary careers. The album became a rare collector’s item, known for its iconic nude cover, and will be reissued on vinyl, CD, and streaming on September 19. The reissue highlights their early collaboration before Fleetwood Mac’s breakthrough with *Rumours* and honors their lasting musical impact despite personal ups and downs.
