Rerelease Announcement Ends Nicks-Buckingham Mystery

UPDATE Jul 23, 2025 6:51 PM CDT

Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham explained on Wednesday what they've been posting about, announcing that the only full album they've made as a duo is being reissued. Buckingham Nicks, which they released in 1973, is not available now on streaming platforms. The remastered version, sourced from the original analog master tapes, will hit the market on Sept. 19 as part of Rhino Records' high-fidelity series, the AP reports. CD and digital releases also will be available for the first time. The album was last issued in a vinyl version in the US in 1981, per Discogs. The Washington Post says the album "set out the duo's Laurel Canyon-inflected sound" and led Mick Fleetwood to ask Buckingham to join Fleetwood Mac. Buckingham answered that Nicks had to be part of the deal. "Crying in the Night," the album's first track, is available to stream.

In separate social media posts that appeared to be coordinated—or at least sympatico—Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham have renewed hopes of a Fleetwood Mac reunion. Nicks posted first Thursday on Instagram, USA Today reports—a note showing the apparently handwritten lyrics "And if you go forward…" Minutes later, Buckingham completed the thought by posting, "I'll meet you there." The lyrics are from "Frozen Love," a song on their 1973 album Buckingham Nicks, released a year before the two joined Fleetwood Mac.

The day before, Mick Fleetwood, a founding member of the band, had posted a video of him listening to the song, per CNN. The caption was "Magic then, magic now." In the clip, the drummer says, "It's all in the song. … It's in the music that played on for so many years." Nicks and Buckingham were once a couple who have split personally and professionally over the years only to reunite—before again going their own ways.

Nobody was commenting about whether the posts mean anything. Nicks, who is on a solo tour, told Vulture in 2023 that it was hard to imagine Fleetwood Mac carrying on without Christine McVie. "When she died, I figured we really can't go any further with this," Nicks said. "There's no reason to."
