In retrospect, it seems preposterous that this album flopped in 1973, but then fate had other plans for Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks<\/a>. Recorded while Nicks was still working day jobs to support them both, it looked like disappearing altogether, until Mick Fleetwood<\/a>, shopping around for recording studios, heard glorious album closer Frozen Love \u2013 and his future opening up before him \u2013 at Sound City in Van Nuys. He swiftly brought the couple into Fleetwood Mac<\/a>, and all worries were soon over.<\/p>\n

Long deleted and widely bootlegged, Buckingham Nicks is finally restored to its rightful place in the Mac story, and it\u2019s plain to see why this was a no-brainer for Fleetwood. The sound that would soon seduce millions was already here.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s Buckingham\u2019s unique Flamenco-tinged guitar sound, evident throughout, for a start, as well as Nicks\u2019 already assured songwriting. The Mac would re-record her Crystal (and should have had a go at sure-fire hit Crying In The Night) but the version here is the stronger one, with those now familiar voices melding to perfection.<\/p>\n

Pretty much everything here could have slotted onto the more famous records that followed \u2013 Buckingham\u2019s guitar solo emerging out of Nicks\u2019 Long Distance Winner, his country\/blues<\/a> picking on Lola (My Love) \u2013 but it\u2019s Frozen Love that\u2019s the real prize. A distant precursor to Mac\u2019s The Chain, it has the voices dancing around each other, and Buckingham\u2019s acoustic break gives way to an orchestral swell and stinging electrics. A superb album rescued from the dustbin of history at last.<\/p>\n
