Superb song, but I'm reluctantly in agreement with Mick et al. that on a two-side LP there just wasn't a good spot for it that would balance side length as well as flow of fast vs. slow songs. It's that kind of higher-level arranging that makes 'Rumours' even more than the sum of its parts.

Personally, I just wait a minute after "Gold Dust Woman" then put on the single of "Silver Springs" as a graceful coda to the album.

I always add it at the end too. It's just such a great song, but I totally get they limitations of the time. Tracking albums is a serious art form that gets forgotten about.
