Yeah, I don't know, I guess maybe because when I was about 11 years old, I had heard "Silver Springs" so many times on the radio (like from December 1976 until about April of 1977, in Connecticut, they played it a lot) and plus played the 45 (yes, the little 45 that you had to put the little yellow plastic thing in the middle of in order to play it on a turntable) so much that I was really shocked when I got the Rumours album and "Go Your Own Way" was on it but "Silver Springs" was not. So maybe I'm the only one on The Ledge who always thought of "Silver Springs" as belonging on Rumours, so maybe I'm the only one who was happy that it was included on the re-release. In fact, all the cassette tapes that I made for myself and for friends back then always included "Silver Springs", and the funny part is, I didn't know where to put it, so I always put it between Side 1 and Side 2, just where they put it on the re-release!!!!
The only disappointing thing about the re-release for me was that they used a remix, and not the mix that was on the 45. Oh, and also, the version of Gold Dust Woman has a "fade-in", but the version on my old album does not. This use of alternate mixes to me is "rewriting history", to use a phrase I've seen in this thread.
I have to say, I agree with someone's post that "Joan Of Arc" would have been great on "Tango In The Night", although I do love Stevie's two songs on that album ("Seven Wonders" is not a Stevie Nicks song; it's a Sandy Stewart song on which Stevie screwed up the words.)
