Buckingham Nicks Finally Reissued After 52 Years

by Noise11.com

When Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks walked into Sound City Studios in 1973, they couldn’t have known their debut album together would become one of rock’s most enduring cult records. Buckingham Nicks, the only release under their joint name, quietly arrived in September of that year, sold poorly, and disappeared almost as quickly. Yet the record became the unlikely gateway to one of the greatest success stories in rock history-Fleetwood Mac’s mid-1970s rebirth.

Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here Turns 50: A Timeless Tribute to Absence and Artistry

Few bands in rock history have faced the challenge Pink Floyd did in the mid-1970s: how do you follow up one of the most successful, best-selling and artistically defining albums of all time? Against that backdrop, Wish You Were Here emerged not only as a worthy successor but as one of the group’s most enduring works.
