Makes no sense to me.

It's the Buckingham Nicks song that was performed by Fleetwood Mac, early on, when Stevie and Lindsey initially joined the band. After Rumours came out, it was eventually dropped from the set list. I love that a great live performance was included on the 1980 LIVE album.
It's very much an official Fleetwood Mac song. Perhaps you could think of it as a cover song, but when you consider that it written and sung by two crucial members of the band, performed by the band, and released on a band album, it's easy to equate it with the band.
I loved it when the Billy and Rick version of Fleetwood Mac unearthed the song and put it in their set list. That was a very inspired and appropriate choice. That made perfect sense to me.
