Buckingham Nicks is an album released in 1973 by the duo of the same name, consisting of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.
The pair had been musically and romantically linked since 1967 and fronted their own band Fritz together until 1971. This was the first recorded work either of them had done.
When Mick Fleetwood heard the song Frozen Love while visiting the studio where they were working on a planned follow-up album in 1974, he invited Buckingham to join his band Fleetwood Mac which was short of a guitarist following the recent departure of Bob Welch. Buckingham would not join without Nicks so any future work as a duo was shelved when they joined the band on New Year's Eve 1974.
The album was deleted and never gained a CD reissue. Both performers discussed the prospect in the early 2010s but it is unlikely to happen while the pair remain in their current state of estrangement. Downloads, mostly ripped from vinyl, can be found at various online sources though.
