Pissed off Stevie interview; Can't believe I've never seen this

Although I understand Stevie's point, I've always felt she over-reacted. Mick took the heat, but it was the record label that wouldn't give her the song. Here's the deal, she was working on her solo hits collection, at the same time Warner Bros. was working on "The Chain", one of the big selling points of the collection would be "Silver Springs", had Stevie released it on "TimeSpace" it would have taken the wind out the sail for "The Chain". Although today the song is all over the place, back in 1992 "Springs" was still a very hard song to find anywhere. The only place you could find it was the original vinyl release from 1976 and the 1988 jukebox vinyl single (backed with "Don't Stop"). Putting it on "The Chain" marked it's debut on CD. Speaking only for myself, the day I walked into the record store in 1992 and saw "The Chain" boxed set and saw that "Silver Springs" was on there, I went right over to the ATM and withdrew $85 so I could buy the set. I had long since worn out my vinyl copies of the song and couldn't wait to get it on CD.
It was the record label Stevie should have been mad at. Mick was just the middle man. In the end though history played out the way it should have. Going back to getting the boot from "Rumours" up thru 1992, the song ended up becoming legendary.
