Silver Springs on vinyl?
 

Hi guys,

I really want a vinyl copy of Silver Sprins! Can someone remind me, was it released as the B-side of one of the singles from Rumours? Or was it not actually released until The Dance? If it was The Dance then did it come out on vinyl?

Either way, does anyone know where I can get a copy?! Couldn't find much on ebay.

I want to say it is the b-side to go your own way. And it was also on the vinyl edition of Crystal Visions.

The original version was released on vinyl as the B side of the single of Go Your Own Way. It is also on the reprints of that same single.

There was a vinyl single release of Silver Springs with Go Your Own Way as the B side both from the Dance. I have this.

There was also a vinyl release on stevie's Crystal Visions

I have the old 45 somewhere.
I remember I had to special order
it from the Record Bar.

I forgot about it being on Crystal Visions! I'm going to get that so it will be there. Thanks guys.

Whoa! Has anyone checked the price of this? Ridiculous for a single! Demon, don't take that the wrong way, I'm very greatful that you found it for me!

Yeah I knew you'd heave when you saw the cost (I did too)... just wanted you to know it's out there. ;)

Not to mention, it's not got a proper centre so it wouldn't actually play unless you took one from another single.

The original Rumours version was released as the b-side to "Go Your Own Way" in 1976. It was ALSO released as a 12" promo single in 1976. The 12" single has the photo from the back of the Rumours album as the label on the record. Lastly it was re-released in 1987 as a jukebox single as the b-side to "Don't Stop". So prior to it's 1997 resurrection it was released on vinyl in the US three times.
The 1976 version has the Burbank street label, the 1987 jukebox version has the plain tan label.

I have this single, it has a pretty cover, don't remember paying too much for it though!

This one's about £3

Damn. I did not know the single from 97 was recalled! What does the "reissued" version look like? I have the original one. I should sell it for $200 on Ebay

I've got the Burbank vinyl. Did it ever have a proper sleeve? Mine's just in one of those plain paper ones.

That's a bunch of crap, as far as I know the single was never recalled. If it was the re-issued version was never released. The shot used for the sleeve (actually taken during "Landslide") was used all around the world for the "Silver Springs" single. Other versions that used it were (all songs are from "The Dance"):
German CD single (with Gold Dust Woman, Over My Head, Go Insane)

German CD single (with Go Your Own Way, Songbird, Gypsy)

Japan CD single (with Go Your Own Way, Songbird, Gypsy)

It's just a seller trying to rip off fans.

No there was no sleeve, just a plain white sleeve. When the song was issued as a single in '97 Reprise sent out promo CD copies of it that had a clear CD with the Burbank label in the center, it was made to look like the original 1976 single. The back cover had a picture of the white sleeve. The CD has the full album version and the radio edit version.

Dodfather,

Are you still looking for a vinyl Silver Springs? My (admittedly dim) memory is that I bought a couple of the Japanese import versions (Pioneer release?) of the GYOW / Silver Springs '45 some decades ago, so I -might- have an extra one for you, and will spend time looking for it if you still need it.

cheers,

kenzo - yes, I'm still looking and would really appreciate your help with this. I'll pm you just now and if you can help I'd gladly reimburse costs etc...
