	$		17

Very hard to find and out of print, apparantley for 40 years - and never officially available as a CD re-issue (only unauthorised vinyl transfers)
Condition is OK, plays nicely, but does have quite a few light marks and one deep one, that you can see in photo 3. I took the photo carefully so this could be seen.
This is NOT a Gate fold cover. On the run out in the middle of the LP, "STERLING" is stamped and also the catalogue no. PD 5058

Prior to recording the album Buckingham Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks performed together in the band Fritz.[1] The pair met while they were both attending Menlo-Atherton High School in Atherton, California, south of San Francisco. At the time, Nicks was a senior in high school and Buckingham, one year younger than her, was a junior.[2] According to Nicks, they first met at a casual after-school gathering in 1966.[3] Nicks and Buckingham found themselves harmonizing to what some accounts claim was a Beach Boys song, although Nicks herself claims they sang “California Dreamin',” a hit single by The Mamas and The Papas, in an interview she gave with The Source in 1981.[2][3]Nevertheless, Nicks and Buckingham did not collaborate again for another two years.[3] In 1968, Buckingham invited Nicks to sing in Fritz, a band he was playing bass guitar for with some of his high school friends.[3] Nicks talks about joining Fritz in an interview with Us Magazine from 1988:

"I met Lindsey when I was a senior in high school and he was a junior, and we sang a song together at some after-school function. Two years later, in 1968, he called me and asked me if I wanted to be in a rock & roll band. I had been playing guitar and singing pretty much totally folk-oriented stuff. So I joined the band, and within a couple of weeks we were opening for really big shows: Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin. All of a sudden I was in rock & roll."[3]

Although Nicks and Buckingham never performed their own, original music while in Fritz, the band provided them with the opportunity to gain experience on stage, performing in front of crowds while opening for wildly successful rock and roll acts.[3] Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin of Big Brother Company and the Holding Company and Jimi Hendrix, whom Fritz also opened for, would all prove influential on Nicks and her developing stage persona.[4] The band manager, David Forrester, worked hard to secure a record deal for Fritz, although their sound was not exactly fitting with the harder, psychedelic music of their more popular contemporaries.[5] The pair continued to perform with Fritz for three years until the band finally dissolved in 1971.[5] Having developed a romantic relationship in addition to their working partnership, Nicks and Buckingham decided soon afterwards to move to Los Angeles from San Francisco to pursue their dreams of being signed.[5]
