Cons: it does have a dud or two
The only copies of this great old album that I've been able to find are collector's items that are too expensive to consider, unless of course, you are a collector.
...
Frozen Love is a song that you can carry around in your head for weeks. It's as good a song as anything on the critically acclaimed "Rumours" album that Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham recorded as, (and with), Fleetwood Mac.
Too Bad.
There is a web page that tells the story better than I can - (( http://www.fleetwoodmac-uk.com/articles/ )) ,,,FMart68.htm
and another one about them before and during the Fleetwood Mac years - (( http:// ))www.buckinghamnicks.net/
The bottom line is this - If I could order a good copy of it for $15-$20 bucks, I'd jump at the chance.
If anybody can help me get a copy, email me at ckealhofer@yahoo.com
Thanks!

Pro Reviews: Buckingham Nicks
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews While it will be hard to find, this lone album cut by a young and ambitious (and still romantically attached) Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham a short two years before joining Fleetwood Mac is well worth digging out for your turntable. There are a few CD versions floating around, but they were no doubt burned from vinyl copies anyway, so don't be fooled. With the Mac's highly lucrative 1997 reunion there was serious talk of a re-release, but apparently it was just talk. Considering what the duo was to later accomplish, Buckingham Nicks is an engaging listen and served as a proving ground of sorts for both artists' songwriting chops and for Buckingham's skills as an emerging studio craftsman. It was a good enough resumé for Fleetwood Mac, who re-recorded the beautifully cerebral "Crystal" when the duo joined them for 1975's self-titled comeback album. The high-octane rockabilly of "Don't Let Me Down Again" became a staple of the band's concert sets well into the 1980s. Crisp, ringing acoustic guitars and a bottom-heavy rhythm section (using the talents of Waddy Watchel, Jim Keltner, and Jerry Scheff) framed the pair's songs in a sound something akin to FM-ready folk-rock. Lesser known tracks like the glistening opener, "Crying in the Night," from Nicks and Buckingham's lonely-guy lament, "Without a Leg to Stand On," are on a par with their later mega hits. At the same time, the misogyny of Buckingham's "Lola, My Love" is a real eye-roller and the orchestral overtones of "Frozen Love" show that the two were over-reaching themselves just a bit. Buckingham-Nicks was a stiff however and the couple had lost their deal with Polydor. But 1975, of course, proved to be one of their better years. - John Duffy, All Music Guide |

Pros: One of the great albums of all time
Cons: Virtually unavailable on CD
Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks pre-Fleetwood Mac. Much has been written, but the music says it all. A perfect reflection of 1970s rock.
