Was hoping this poll was between naked stevie and Lindsey's moustache.

That's the one that got my vote!

The negatives for the album sleeve photo shoot turned up on eBay a couple of years ago, the buyer paid $15,000 for them and as you'd expect there's more than a fair few outtakes...

Yeah, Long Distance Winner gets my vote too. I like this version of Crystal a lot too.

i haven't listened to this record in 3 years but without a leeeeeeeeeeg to stand on still gets stuck in my fucking head all the time

There's still no "official" (ie not shady) reissue of this, right?

For the longest time, I thought it was Lindsey's fault because he's a perfectionist and didn't want to reissue it without tinkering with it first, but then I read that he's ready to put it out asap and now I don't understand wtf is going on.

yeah i don't think so, i can't find the copy i have on discogs

flappy bird, Wednesday, 14 September 2016 21:30 (nine years ago)

How has no one yet mentioned the supreme fucking awesomeness that is "Frozen Love???" (my vote btw, clear winner)

stevie: "I was crying when we took that picture. And Lindsey was mad at me. He said, 'You know, you're just being a child. This is art.' And I'm going, 'This is not *art*. This is me taking a nude photograph with you, and I don't dig it.'"

Fuck, man. That sucks.

Christine McVie would have told the photographer to fuck off!

how come this has never been released proper?

piscesx, Wednesday, 14 September 2016 23:13 (nine years ago)

Its original Polydor release was proper. But once it went out of print, it stayed out of print.

Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 14 September 2016 23:17 (nine years ago)

Wasn't it "Frozen Love" that prompted Fleetwood to get together with Buckingham in the first place? Anyway lots of great stuff here but I'll probably vote "Stephanie". Gorgeous piece of music, and Stevie's birth name! How sweet.

erudite beach boys fan (sheesh), Thursday, 15 September 2016 02:12 (nine years ago)

Yeah, that's true! Buckingham is still playing 'Stephanie' live in his solo shows...

Y'know, I think I actually might prefer the version of 'Crystal' on here to the version on Fleetwood Mac. I think both versions are in different keys, but I'd have to A-B them to double check.

In any case, it's interesting to listen to this album alongside what the Mac were doing in the early '70s, and it's not difficult to see what Buckingham and Nicks brought to the band (a lot) and the elements of the Mac which were already in place (they already were a kinda West Coast soft rock group by this point, plus Christine McVie was just about to start peaking as a songwriter)

my thesis was entitled "races are run: the concept of 'winning' in the songs of lindsey buckingham and stevie nicks"

conrad, Thursday, 15 September 2016 14:36 (nine years ago)

Hahaha! Both of those songs ('Long Distance Winner' and 'Races are Run') are Stevie songs!

the hair - it's lost its energy (Turrican), Thursday, 15 September 2016 14:40 (nine years ago)

I made some analysis also of e.g. 'never going back again' and 'go insane'

conrad, Thursday, 15 September 2016 14:57 (nine years ago)

Great album

I have seen Buckingham solo and he did not play "Stephanie" which would have been incredible, but he did play "Holiday Road" which was probably just as well.

The ripple of sudden "oh yeah Lindsey Buckingham wrote and recorded 'Holiday Road' from that Chevy Chase movie" across the crowd was tangible

erudite beach boys fan (sheesh), Friday, 16 September 2016 07:38 (nine years ago)

conrad your collegiate experience sounds 100x better than mine was and I am jealous

erudite beach boys fan (sheesh), Friday, 16 September 2016 07:40 (nine years ago)

I'd actually forgotten about 'Holiday Road'!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

System, Wednesday, 21 September 2016 00:01 (nine years ago)

Hahahaha wasn't 'Don't Let Me Down Again' the single from this?

the hair - it's lost its energy (Turrican), Wednesday, 21 September 2016 00:27 (nine years ago)

According to this interview:
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/q-a-stevie-nicks-and-lindsey-buckingham-reveal-lingering-tensions-in-fleetwood-mac-20121205
There was talk of a reissue with new + bonus material? And maybe even a Buckingham Nicks tour behind it? And Fleetwood Mac had 8 or 9 new tunes in the bank? And this was all before Christine found a wild hare and decided to join the band again?

Where is all of this music? WHERE IS THE MUSIC

erudite beach boys fan (sheesh), Saturday, 24 September 2016 05:56 (nine years ago)

some of those new tunes ended up on the EP in 2013

ufo, Saturday, 24 September 2016 06:12 (nine years ago)

including the lost Buckingham Nicks track
