50 years old...incredible...sounds as fresh today as when it was first released. You could easily be listening to Fleetwood Mac here...in fact, you are.
I also have my original vinyl copy of Buckingham Nicks. Quite an amazing record. Lindsey is an amazing guitarist, and even more so knowing he is totally self-taught. He never took a lesson.
Why has this album never been re released on CD or digitally? Absolute gem, and superior to their Fleetwood mac debut, in my opinion. Should have been massive..
Sunflowers and your face fascinate me You love only the tallest trees I come running down the hill But you're fast You're the winner Long distance winner Not unlike the blue white fire You burn brightly in spite of yourself I bring the water down to you But you're too hot to touch You're too hot to touch Love somebody save their soul Tie them to your heaven erase their hell Love their lifestyle if you feel it Don't try to change them you never will Sunflowers and your face fascinate me You go into the dusty pink day I come a calling unto you But you run You're the winner Long distance winner Oh yeah, you're the winner Long distance winner, ah yeah Love somebody save their soul Tie them to your heaven erase their hell Love their lifestyle if you feel it Don't try to change them you never will Sunflowers and your face fascinate me You love only the tallest trees I come running down the hill But you're fast You're the winner Long distance winner Oh yeah, you're the winner Long distance winner, ah ah yeah You're the winner, ah ah yeah
This song got some air play when I was living in Arizona in the early 70s. First time I heard it I had to pull over to the side of the road to listen. His guitar and her voice had me mesmerized.Never heard anything like this before or since.
I grew up in Phx (Stevie’s home), the local free form FM station, recognized its specialness and played 5 or 6 cuts from it often, that station was the most popular station 72-75. They rec’d lots of playtime and loyalty in Birmingham, AL too. Still have my copy of this exceptional LP.
Buckingham Nicks were popular in our area before they joined Fleetwood Mac. I bought this album back then and it remains to this day one of my favorite albums...it has held up well. they are magical together
I bought this album in 1975 at age 15 right when Buckingham and Nicks joined up with Fleetwood Mac and it has been a favorite ever since except my LP is hammered and the cassettes I made from the vinyl are also hammered and taped together so many times that they don't work in any player anymore. This is a true classic and anyone that hears it will agree. I read that there is a quality remaster from Japan for around $60 which is a fair price for this unbelievable, underrated gem which clearly helped kick life back into Fleetwood Mac who were searching for an identity and were fading fast before Buckingham and Nicks. I just ordered up the new release. Can't wait to hear the whole album again with bonus tracks!
Like many under appreciated 70's albums this was available in used record stores for a number of years at very reasonable prices. I'm sure that's how I got mine.
This album was reviewed highly by the music critics. It wasn't a huge commercial success, due to the fact it wasn't widely played by the radio stations at the time. I never heard any of this outstanding album on air play. My roommate bought the vinyl and still has it. We played it all the time.
I wish I was THAT lucky! I feel like finding this album in any record store or Goodwill (at a reasonable price that isn't $100+) is a diamond in the rough nowadays considering that only 50,000 copies were sold back in 1973.
My Roommate bought this online in near mint condition. He made a CD for me. I haven’t heard it since the early 80’s and forgot how much I loved it! True talent!
Thank you David Ford for turning me onto this album in 1984 and for giving me Shannon. RIP David Ford, RIP Shannon Lee Brooks. Love will reunite us again one day.
This is my favorite album of all time!! I listen to it over and over and revel in its talent and beauty every time. Thank you both for your amazing artistry. My love goes out to this amazing display of talent!! Forever grateful! 💕
Stevie sounds like a magical singing elf and the lyrics are like a magical spell. And Lindsey’s guitar playing is virtuoso. Great blend of talent through and through.
And the rest is Rock History. First time I heard this album was when it was released. It got played on BCN in Boston. I knew where they were heading and it sure wasn't down. Joining Fleetwood changed the whole Rock Dynamic skyrocketing them beyond I think even their wildest hopes and dreams.
+Jenni Durham Yes, but it's funny how she is correctly assessing a quality in him already that will split them apart in the not too distant future: his "intensity," his drive, perhaps his temper that even he's admitted in interviews to having had. ("I bring you water, but you're too hot too touch.") And "if you love somebody, don't try to change them, you never will." Once again, Stevie has written one of her self-described prophetic songs!
I cherish this music so much from my childhood....I had the best musical childhood growing up - being born late 60s and growing up in the 70s...I played the grooves off this record....I can play it over and over and over on here now....I wish it was on CD too!!! Did anyone see Dave Grohl's movie Sound City??? You really really should check that movie out if you love these guys......WOAH that's a great documentary ya'll ....Stevie is prominently featured!!! xo
I just purchased this album on CD from Ebay, though it was pricey it was well worth it. Came with a lot of bonus tracks too, it includes a live version of "Rhiannon" which I think Stevie and Lindsey performed before they joined Fleetwood Mac, but I'm not so sure.
I am 59 years old, This song came out on the radio. love it!! found out years later that was recorded at sound city. I encourage everyone to watch the video about this fantastic place and learn how this got stevie and lindsey in the band called fleetwood mac. Thank you!!!!!
Sunflowers and your face fascinate me You love only the tallest trees I come running down the hill But you're fast You're the winner Long distance winner Not unlike the blue white fire You burn brightly in spite of yourself I bring the water down to you But you're too hot to touch You're too hot to touch Love somebody save their soul Tie them to your heaven erase their hell Love their lifestyle if you feel it Don't try to change them you never will Sunflowers and your face fascinate me You go into the dusty pink day I come a calling unto you But you run You're the winner Long distance winner Oh yeah, you're the winner Long distance winner, ah yeah
Buckingham is rally underrated as a guitarist. Nicks sounds like an angel at this age.
herne777 she was 25 here I think
herne777 Stevie is an angel. That's why she sounds like one! 👼
I WAS JUST GOING to say the exact same thing!
@@estebanphd69 too much cocaine took her voice in her older year's!! I've loved her for years ❤💕. She is an artist as well
@victhor santos Saw him live 2 years ago...
Walker Auditorium...
Chattanooga, TN
400 seat venue...
Front row...
He is an amazing guitarist
😎
I love the lyrics..."sunflowers and your face fascinate me."
Me too!
Stevie is my second-favorite poet ever, right after my mom.
"..you love only the tallest tree"
Best lyric ever!!!
I have it tattooed
50 years old...incredible...sounds as fresh today as when it was first released. You could easily be listening to Fleetwood Mac here...in fact, you are.
Very lucky to own this vinyl. Mick Fleetwood knew talent when he heard it.
Jason Vanrell I too have the vinyl. One of my favorite albums.
I also have my original vinyl copy of Buckingham Nicks. Quite an amazing record. Lindsey is an amazing guitarist, and even more so knowing he is totally self-taught. He never took a lesson.
admiral37 as a fellow singer songwriter I believe it's all be ear yes.
Jason Vanrell got mine at a penguin feather head shop used records store in Annandale back in the 70s
FOUND IT - Original vinyl - this past weekend !! I feel like a treasure hunter who won !
Why has this album never been re released on CD or digitally? Absolute gem, and superior to their Fleetwood mac debut, in my opinion. Should have been massive..
+richard tofts It only sold well in Southern California & the Deep South...everyone I knew in the 70's had this album.
Man ain't that the truth. This album meant so much to me as a teenager Why hasn't it been re-released?
+Keith Stewart me to I live in Maryland.
The master tapes have probably degraded too much.
I have it on CD, if you search Ebay you will find one, but it wont be cheap.
Sunflowers and your face fascinate me
You love only the tallest trees
I come running down the hill
But you're fast
You're the winner
Long distance winner
Not unlike the blue white fire
You burn brightly in spite of yourself
I bring the water down to you
But you're too hot to touch
You're too hot to touch
Love somebody save their soul
Tie them to your heaven erase their hell
Love their lifestyle if you feel it
Don't try to change them you never will
Sunflowers and your face fascinate me
You go into the dusty pink day
I come a calling unto you
But you run
You're the winner
Long distance winner
Oh yeah, you're the winner
Long distance winner, ah yeah
Love somebody save their soul
Tie them to your heaven erase their hell
Love their lifestyle if you feel it
Don't try to change them you never will
Sunflowers and your face fascinate me
You love only the tallest trees
I come running down the hill
But you're fast
You're the winner
Long distance winner
Oh yeah, you're the winner
Long distance winner, ah ah yeah
You're the winner, ah ah yeah
Only Nicks could vocally match the complex musical calculating details of Buckingham’s playing and harmony
This is Stevie's voice at its prime. Love this album.
I agree. Wow, her voice sounds so different now.
Grimlock 84 not even just her voice but the band in general is perfect in timing and execution. It doesn't even sound like an old song to me...
Totally agree. Stevie's voice in this album it's out of this world.
I love her voice in a eras. I understand that people age and I like how she sings landslide as an older adult
a couple abortions, 50 lbs, and a half ton of klonopin will do that to your pipes
This song got some air play when I was living in Arizona in the early 70s. First time I heard it I had to pull over to the side of the road to listen. His guitar and her voice had me mesmerized.Never heard anything like this before or since.
This song and Frozen Love are two of my favorites!
Crystal's in it too
If this song didn't get any air time back in the 70's, that is insane. This song is 🔥🔥🔥
I grew up in Phx (Stevie’s home), the local free form FM station, recognized its specialness and played 5 or 6 cuts from it often, that station was the most popular station 72-75. They rec’d lots of playtime and loyalty in Birmingham, AL too. Still have my copy of this exceptional LP.
Buckingham Nicks were popular in our area before they joined Fleetwood Mac. I bought this album back then and it remains to this day one of my favorite albums...it has held up well. they are magical together
I saw them twice b4 Fleetwood Mac.
this long distance winter song is probably one of the best songs I've ever heard I love it
+Rocco Cognati I'm with ya there . . . love it! ;)
I agree, it is a timeless classic.
Rocco Cognati my fav is Stephanie. But this a great one as well.
me too - great song and done beautiful by these two. Especially long distance winner
That guitar tho man Lindsey is definitely one of my all time fav guitarists. He was a genius and guitar legend still is.
All time favorite Album including these two. ... the magic between Lindsay and Stevie is timeless.
Masterpiece
Still the best record the two of them ever made.
IMHO of course.
I did not win the lottery last weekend, but I did luck up. Original vinyl of BN. So happy, and feel like a WINNER !
One of the best songs on my all time favourite album.
I bought this album in 1975 at age 15 right when Buckingham and Nicks joined up with Fleetwood Mac and it has been a favorite ever since except my LP is hammered and the cassettes I made from the vinyl are also hammered and taped together so many times that they don't work in any player anymore.

This song is a masterpiece in every way.
Thank you, again, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham.
This is my favorite song from the 70's
sunflowers and your face fascinate me . . .
One of the best albums EVER!! 🌻
I still have this album. Love it. Love Stevie. Lindsey is a great guitar player.
Lindsey Buckingham's picking technique is absolutely amazing.
This song & Crystal are two of my all-time favorite songs. You don't find songwriting like this very often.
this song is so underrated. so glad my dad bought this on vinyl back in the day.
Stevie Nicks has a strong , powerful voice. Sounds Awesome
I rate this album very close to the Rumors album they did after joining Fleetwood Mac. Amazing!!! Moves me still. Always will.
Agree.
This song just saved my soul. Thank you Stevie, I've always loved you an your music. Thank you Lindsay, you are amazing
One of my very fave songs ever...timeless!! ❤🕊
Love the harmonies at the end and the epic guitar solo.
outstanding, next level
This
whoever did the drums did a good job too
Their music is still wonderful ❤️

It was on FM radio in Columbus, Ohio at the time.
I wish I was THAT lucky! I feel like finding this album in any record store or Goodwill (at a reasonable price that isn't $100+) is a diamond in the rough nowadays considering that only 50,000 copies were sold back in 1973.
Pls Spotify, take this album on your server!!!!

I have this album. Love it! Now I need it digitized.

You can usually find it on eBay from China
This is my favorite album of all time!! I listen to it over and over and revel in its talent and beauty every time. Thank you both for your amazing artistry. My love goes out to this amazing display of talent!! Forever grateful! 💕
This is one of Stevie Nicks best recordings ever !!!
Have loved Fleetwood Mac since my college days !!!
Great voice !!!
Stevie sounds like a magical singing elf and the lyrics are like a magical spell. And Lindsey’s guitar playing is virtuoso. Great blend of talent through and through.
Adam Smith Music Stevie _is_ a magical singing elf. And all of her lyrics are spells 🔮✨
This is so raw and so so good
It was "massive" to those of us who listened.
This is actually the album that brought me to Fleetwood Mac, rather than the other way around.
Little known masterpiece
And the rest is Rock History. First time I heard this album was when it was released. It got played on BCN in Boston. I knew where they were heading and it sure wasn't down. Joining Fleetwood changed the whole Rock Dynamic skyrocketing them beyond I think even their wildest hopes and dreams.
What is wrong with me - I can't stop listening to this song today. So many memories.
Obsessed with this song 🌻
Very emotionally strong track!
This was my childhood! I love Stevie and Linsay!!!!!! Don't try to change them you never will!
i got the album....... back in the 70's
This song and full album was so awesome at age 14, was a great introduction to Fleetwood mac still love this song at age 50
Amazing harmony and delicious voice melding. Stands the tests of time and space
This is this is a great song! I played it when I was doing rock radio years ago! Please release this Stevie!
Stevie and Lyndsay...when they were actually in love. The early shit. This is amazing. I wish I owned this record.
They have a bunch of LPs for sale on eBay...if you can anything to play them on.
They actually wrote their best music when they were breaking up and apart. Dreams being a notable mention of this. Also Lindsey's Bleed to love her.
+Jenni Durham Yes, but it's funny how she is correctly assessing a quality in him already that will split them apart in the not too distant future: his "intensity," his drive, perhaps his temper that even he's admitted in interviews to having had. ("I bring you water, but you're too hot too touch.") And "if you love somebody, don't try to change them, you never will." Once again, Stevie has written one of her self-described prophetic songs!
right, somehow one must wonder if she already knew what was about to come...
I do. :-)
I cherish this music so much from my childhood....I had the best musical childhood growing up - being born late 60s and growing up in the 70s...I played the grooves off this record....I can play it over and over and over on here now....I wish it was on CD too!!! Did anyone see Dave Grohl's movie Sound City??? You really really should check that movie out if you love these guys......WOAH that's a great documentary ya'll ....Stevie is prominently featured!!! xo
LittleMissIssues You Can’t Fix This is a great track
Summer of 76! Loved this over and over. Timeless.
Love somebody, save their soul...so beautifiul
A god like Album, such a shame it didn't get the recognition it deserved, amazing on so many levels
You can hear Stevie's love for Lindsey in her songwriting here
Rhianna Barr-Beaumont good point! 💟
I just purchased this album on CD from Ebay, though it was pricey it was well worth it. Came with a lot of bonus tracks too, it includes a live version of "Rhiannon" which I think Stevie and Lindsey performed before they joined Fleetwood Mac, but I'm not so sure.
Yep, played in Birmingham Alabama ......
My favorite song, favorite album ever
All time fav classic songs!!! :-) :-) :-) :-) I smile everytime I hear this over and over beautiful!!!! :-)
I am 59 years old, This song came out on the radio. love it!! found out years later that was recorded at sound city. I encourage everyone to watch the video about this fantastic place and learn how this got stevie and lindsey in the band called fleetwood mac. Thank you!!!!!

love the guitar on this song,,,the guitar solo...
Never hear this on radio. Of course not, it's far too good for that.
It was in Birmingham, Al. back in the day!! They had a huge following there! I lived there at the time.
Sunflowers and your face facinate me.
I miss you
Buckingham is an AMAZING guitarist btw
❤my favorite cut on this album
A Musical Gem 💎
I first heard this in college. Thank you pretty Birdie!
One of my favorite albums....so grateful my brother found it and bought it for me while attending Michigan State!
On American Horror Story, Misty states that Stevie found her voice with Fleetwood Mac , I would dispute that statement. Listen to this Misty !!!
This needs to be on itunes !!!!!!!
2024 and it still rocks haaaaaaaard
the fact this isnt on spotify depresses me
love this song
Any one listening to these two in 2019
Happy Birthday Stevie! 😘😘
Bought this record for a special friend .Love It !
Love this album!
Great song and lyrics
it supposed to be remastered and released in a expanded edition with bonus tracks
Was it ever released again as you say? Would love to find this.
+Greg Keating I found it through an Australian release I don't want a remixed copy I wanted the original I got it. Took me 30 years to do it though.
i love all the trees
Definitely helped to have Jim Keltner playing drums - subtle master.
Sublime...if it was not for these 2 amazing musicians there would not be the Fleetwood Mac we know today...Rumours woud not exist.
Love it.And Frozen Love.
A great song ...should've been a hit, but then deep cuts have always been the best.
I wish this album was available on iTunes!
Lord, the harmony - and the talent! ❤
This song is a beautiful masterpiece. Thank You for uploading this awesome song:)
REAL MAGIC 🕊❤✍
Oh damn they just don’t stop comin with the hits these two!
The true ambience
Absolutely beautiful
No chance to ever find this wonderful album on vinyl where I live...
