50 Yrs | Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham From Frozen Love to Fleetwood Mac

Buckingham Nicks Elusive '73 Album Arrives Sept 19th

Fleetwood Mac went through many lineups, but only one became legendary. When Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined in 1974, they transformed the band from a modest British blues outfit into a pop-rock powerhouse infused with California folk. The result was a run of shimmering, drama-laden hits like Dreams, Don’t Stop, and Gypsy that defined the next decade and a half. But before Fleetwood Mac — long before their creative partnership unraveled — Buckingham and Nicks recorded an album together. For decades, it was notoriously difficult to hear. That changes on September 19th, when Buckingham Nicks will finally be reissued after more than 40 years, newly remastered on CD, vinyl, and digital.

Deep Dive: 36 Years of Stevie Nicks The Other Side Of The Mirror

Thirty six years ago, on May 11, 1989, Stevie Nicks released her fourth solo album, The Other Side of the Mirror, in North America. The UK and Australian releases followed later that month. While it may not hold the iconic status of Bella Donna or The Wild Heart, The Other Side of the Mirror remains one of Nicks’ most intriguing and underappreciated works. Produced by Rupert Hine, the album arrived on the heels of Fleetwood Mac’s Tango in the Night, and as the first band member to go solo post-Tango, expectations for Nicks were high. She delivered: the album peaked at number 10 in the U.S., number 11 in Canada and debuted at number 3 in the UK, marking her highest solo chart entry there to date. The album also achieved top 10 status in Australia and Sweden and landed in the top 20 in other european markets. The lead single, “Rooms on Fire,” was a world wide hit reaching the top 20 in multiple countries including number 16 in the US, number 9 in Canada and became Nicks’ first top 40 solo hit in the UK reaching number 16. Four singles were released from the album to varying degrees of success. “Long Way to Go” reached number 60 and “Whole Lotta Trouble” reached number 62 in the UK and number 22 in Ireland. “Long Way To Go” reached number 11 on the US Album Rock Tracks chart and number 65 in Australia. "Two Kinds of Love" and the Grammy nominated "Whole Lotta Trouble" both surprisingly failed to chart in the US. Artistically, The Other Side of the Mirror still stands tall. While often overshadowed by her earlier solo triumphs, the album holds a special place in her discography — especially among devoted fans who recognize its depth and atmosphere. There’s plenty of magic to discover on The Other Side of the Mirror.
