For instance, the 1973 "Buckingham Nicks" album is beloved by many Fleetwood Mac fans, but it has remained out of print ever since its first release. And that's not likely to change any time soon, since neither Nicks nor Buckingham seem interested in uncovering the early part of their career. (One exception here is the first song, "Where Was I," written by Nicks.)Īs far as I can tell, absolutely none of Fritz's music has ever been officially released. But the creative heart of the band was keyboardist Javier Pacheco, because he wrote nearly all the songs. But even though Nicks and/or Buckingham were the lead singers on all of Fritz's songs, there were three other band members, including Brian Kane on lead guitar and Bob Aguirre on drums. Nicks and Buckingham stayed in the band until it broke up in 1971, when those two moved to Los Angeles to try to make it big in the music business. The band got popular enough for them to open for many big name artists, including Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. The short version is that the band began in the Bay Area of California in 1966. Here's one article that gives a good summary: I'm not going to go through a long explanation about the story of Fritz. Some people know about the official "Buckingham Nicks" album from 1973, but there's more than that, including this. But I also need to begin posting about the early career of Nicks and Buckingham, until they join Fleetwood Mac in 1975. I've started posting various stray tracks albums of Fleetwood Mac, moving forward chronologically through the band's long career. It's an album of the best of Fritz, the band Fleetwood Mac stars Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham were in back in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Here's a very special share, of something so rare that I don't believe it's even ever been bootlegged.
