A young Stevie Nicks in a headscarf, from an old 1970s print with worn edges that has clearly been passed around.
Before Fleetwood Mac, Stevie and Lindsey Buckingham were a duo. Their only album together, Buckingham Nicks, came out in 1973 and went nowhere commercially, and Stevie was still waiting tables to pay the bills.
Then Mick Fleetwood heard "Frozen Love" while he was checking out Sound City studio in Los Angeles. He wanted Lindsey on guitar, Lindsey said they came as a pair, and on New Year's Eve 1974 Fleetwood Mac invited them both in.
The first album with the new lineup, Fleetwood Mac, came out in 1975 and gave Stevie "Rhiannon" and "Landslide." Rumours followed in 1977.
