- Players only love you when they're playing, and Fleetwood Mac fans played themselves last week.

- At first, it seemed as if Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks were backtracking on their current "don't say that you love me" stance.

- But Buckingham and Nicks' social media activity was teasing the reissue of their debut album, *Buckingham Nicks, *leaving us to conclude that they're probably never going back again.

Lindsey Buckingham will likely never get away from the sound of the woman that loved him, considering they produced heaps of music together — but he's not reuniting with her any time soon either.

Buckingham and fellow former Fleetwood Mac member Stevie Nicks churned the internet into a frenzy last week with two mysterious Instagram posts that began and ended lyrics from "Frozen Love," one of the tracks off their debut album *Buckingham Nicks.*

Nicks shared a photo of her handwriting with the lyrics "And if you go forward," which Buckingham then followed up with his own image in his handwriting, finishing the lyric with "I'll meet you there." Fans hoped that the posts might signal a truce between the estranged former lovers and bandmates, but it turns out our dreams are not to be realized (guess we'll have to keep those crystal visions to ourselves).

Speculation only escalated this week with the sudden appearance of a *Buckingham Nicks *billboard on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, pointedly located near Sound City Studios where their debut album was first recorded.

Instead, the cryptic posts turned out to be a tease for the first-ever reissue of the duo's 1973 album, *Buckingham Nicks, *which put them on the map and attracted the attention of band leader Mick Fleetwood.

On Wednesday morning, Rhino High Fidelity announced that they will reissue the long-unavailable album on Sept. 19. In addition to making its digital debut on streaming platforms, the album will also be reissued on two limited vinyl editions. The tracks have been remastered with files sourced from the original analog master tapes.

*Buckingham Nicks, *which marks their only studio album as a duo, wasn't a huge success in its time, but it showcased the harmonies and haunting melodies of Buckingham and Nicks as songwriters. So much so that when producer Keith Olsen played "Frozen Love" for Mick Fleetwood in 1974 as part of a studio scouting tour, the drummer decided to extend an invitation to Buckingham to join Fleetwood Mac, who agreed only on the condition that Nicks be given a spot too.

"[We] knew what we had as a duo, two songwriters that sang really well together. And it was a very natural thing, from the beginning," Nicks said in the liner notes, echoed by Buckingham's remarks that "it stands up in a way you hope it would, by these two kids who were pretty young to be doing that work."

The album's reissue is good (and not second-hand) news for Fleetwood Mac fans, offering a chance to hear the duo in their prime as singer-songwriters. But it's hard not to feel slightly deflated when we were hoping for more.

Indeed, their selection of "Frozen Love" for the lyric tease itself feels pointed, given that it includes Nicks singing, "There's no beginning over/You are not happy, but what is love?/Hate gave me you for a lover." Even the title "Frozen Love" suggests a return to something frozen in time.

The duo, whose tense relationship reportedly resulted in Buckingham's firing from Fleetwood Mac back in 2018, have long been the subject of internet speculation with their tortured romance inspiring many songs on Mac's hit album *Rumours, *as well as providing fodder for Taylor Jenkins Reid's novel *Daisy Jones & the Six, *which was adapted into a Prime Video series.

Buckingham and Nicks have had a tempestuous relationship since the 1970s, beginning with their *Rumours-*era break-up, continuing through their 1980s and ʼ90s exits from Fleetwood Mac to pursue solo careers, and ramping up again with the band's reunion for 1997's *The Dance. *Much of the angst and infidelity of their relationship is evident in their songwriting, which has captured the interest of fans.

Things seemed to reach a definitive end in 2018 when Buckingham was fired from Fleetwood Mac, which he claims came at the behest of Nicks (one which she denied). Buckingham has made it clear he's open to returning to the band, and Fleetwood has expressed his desire for the exes to bury the hatchet.

But Nicks seems resolute in her choices, saying in 2024 that she believed Fleetwood Mac was officially over once and for all following the death of fellow bandmate Christine McVie.

"I felt like you can't replace her," Nicks said in an interview. "You just can't. Without her, what is it? You know what I mean? She was like my soul mate."

Nicks also shared in another interview with Rolling Stone that she would not remotely consider a farewell tour with Buckingham, noting that in her mind the 2018 split with Fleetwood Mac marked their official creative "divorce."

"I dealt with Lindsey for as long as I could," she said. "You could not say that I did not give him more than 300 million chances."

Still, fans hoped for a potential reunion when she touched on her love for the TV adaptation of *Daisy Jones & the Six, *noting that the show's final scene in which Billy (Sam Claflin) shows up at Daisy's (Riley Keough) door after years apart sparked an idea for a second season centered on the notion that "they decided to make that last record that I always hoped that Lindsey and I would make."

Well, hey, as someone once told us, don't stop thinking about tomorrow...**
