I agree with you on this TrueFaith. I like to hear classic albums the way they were released. There were reasons that bands chose the particular songs and the sequence. So why change a classic? I'm all for remastering sorry "sounding" CD's, but if they want to include extra's such as Silver Springs it should only be done if they release a 2 CD set. That way we can have it all, the original and a CD of unreleased material and outtakes.
And as it turned out with Silver Springs, it all worked out for the best. It was played more on MTV and VH1 than all the other "Dance" songs. I doubt the Dance Video and CD would have been as popular without it. Plus at the time of Rumours people might have had enough of Fl. Mac. So it could have hurt one of the other hits from Rumours. Think of other albums that were massive hits, at the end of their run we are tired of hearing them on the radio.
