A few of my favorite albums are out of print, having not been considered successful by the record companies which paid for their creation. I know a few that I like, which I will post, and maybe you all know some good ones as well. Maybe it will be interesting? Here is one of the best ones. Fans of Fleetwood Mac will recognize the sound that was ported into their old sound to make them finally, widely successful. Lyndsey and Stevie didn't find enough success with their album, likely due to lack of promotion from the studio. Mick invited them to join the band, and the rest is history. The album has never been re-released because of objections from Stevie. You will recognize some of the songs that were reworked into FM songs. One thing she is unhappy about is that she feels that Lyndsey coerced her into taking the album cover photo, in which she was topless. Also, Lyndsey is the one who bargained to get Stevie in the band in the first place, as he was originally the only one invited. Ironic considering that she had him thrown out of the band. From an article:
"Fleetwood Mac was in free fall by the time Mick Fleetwood asked Lindsey Buckingham to join on New Year's Eve 1974.
The recent departure of Bob Welch meant that Buckingham would become the group's seventh guitarist in just seven years. That gave Buckingham some leverage, which he used to arrange for a package deal with his girlfriend Stevie Nicks. Sparked by a recording of Buckingham Nicks' "Frozen Love," Fleetwood happily obliged – and the addition of both meant the classic-era lineup of Fleetwood Mac was finally in place...."
"...Polydor signed the the now-Los Angeles-based pair, but the resulting self-titled album went nowhere – leaving a desperate Nicks to waitress for rent. She has said she was mere weeks away from returning to Phoenix when Fleetwood called.
'If we hadn’t joined Fleetwood Mac, would Lindsey and I have carried on and made it?' she told Uncut. 'I was really tired of having no money and being a waitress. It’s very possible that I would have gone back to school and Lindsey would have gone back to San Francisco.'”
If you have some favorite albums that are out of print or even never released, post them. There are quite a few, but I'm sure most aren't that great. Any other good ones out there?
