We already knew that Fleetwood Mac great Stevie Nicks had a rarities album on the way, and now she's shared a few more details about the impending 24 Karat Gold - Songs from the Vault, including the exact release date.

The CD version will be out on October 7 through Warner Bros. Records, while the double-vinyl version will come out ahead of time on September 29. There will also be a deluxe CD edition that comes with two bonus cuts, plus 48 pages of exclusive photographs. One of those old Polaroids can be seen above.

Nicks said in a statement, "Most of these songs were written between 1969 and 1987.  One was written in 1994 and one in 1995. I included them because they seemed to belong to this special group. Each song is a lifetime. Each song has a soul.  Each song has a purpose. Each song is a love story... They represent my life behind the scenes, the secrets, the broken hearts, the broken hearted and the survivors. These songs are the memories — the 24 karat gold rings in the blue box. These songs are for you."

The album was produced by Dave Stewart, Waddy Wachtel and Stevie Nicks. Look for Nicks to preview snippets from the album on her newly launched Instagram account every week starting August 5.

An alleged tracklist for the album recently leaked online, but it's unconfirmed whether this is the real version. See it at Stevie-Nicks.info.
