FAQ
The 'Buckingham Nicks' album has been out of print for decades likely due to its initial commercial underperformance and the duo's subsequent success with Fleetwood Mac, which overshadowed their earlier work.
The album caught the attention of Mick Fleetwood when he heard 'Frozen Love' at Sound City Studios. This led to Buckingham and Nicks joining Fleetwood Mac as a package deal after Bob Welch left the band.
