While outstanding in the Dance form, Silver Springs preserved in all its original glory is hard to beat. I've waffled on its inclusion on Rumours but gotta say it was almost criminal to relegate it to a b-side.
You're welcome. Richard Dashut said Silver Springs is "The best song that never made it to a record album" and I absolutely agree. After hearing this version, that I believe is from the 2004 reissue, the one on the album striked me as too short. If the price to pay for Silver Spring's inclusion on the album would have been to cut the song so much, I think it's better to have left it out altogether.
