When it was originally released over five decades ago, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks‘ first (and only) album as a duo failed to propel the pair to the level of global music stardom they found with Fleetwood Mac just two years later.

But over the years, the ‘Buckingham Nicks’ album earned a devout cult following and, after years of speculation from both fans and the artists themselves, the LP was finally reissued earlier this month and has made waves worldwide.

Thanks to a series of CD and vinyl editions – which feature the original 10-song album, including the single, Crying In The Night, and Crystal, which was re-recorded by Fleetwood Mac for their eponymous 1975 album – the record has entered the Top 40 globally, and peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Albums Chart at No. 6.

Reacting to the success of the reissue, Buckingham shared a classic image of the duo on his social media pages and wrote: “This re-release has been a long time coming and the reception to Buckingham Nicks has warmed my heart. Thank you.”

In the comments, Nicks simply shared emojis of a white dove and sparkling stars.

It comes after the Dreams singer recently shared a handwritten note from during the ‘Buckingham Nicks’ recording sessions, sent to her family ahead of her 25th birthday, in which she anticipated the duo’s impending success.

“I am getting very tired of sitting around listening to 12 hours of music per day,” she shared, before joking about how she’d view those very moments decades later.

“Oh well, I know it will pay off in the end, and when I am sitting in my small but luxurious Beverly Hills home overlooking my small but tasteful pool that is totally secluded, where I can sun in the nude and tan my entire fat body while waiting for my plastic surgery leg lift—it will all be worth it.” 

The Gypsy hitmaker went on to write about one song in particular, Don’t Let Me Down Again, which would later become a staple of Fleetwood Mac’s early live sets.

“By the way—Dad and Chris—that rock and roll tune that you both liked (‘Baby Baby, don’t treat me so bad’) with the fancy guitar work is almost finished,” she continued, adding, “and Lindsey may go down in history as one of ‘greats’ in guitar playing.”
