About
The slogan printed on catalog material was: "Something for everyone from the great MCA 'Twofer' catalog" The reissue series was started by MCA Records, Inc. and released on the new MCA Records label, in 1973. The series packaged previously released material as 2 record sets -- "2 for the price of one". Some releases anthologize back catalog material, and some simply pair previously released albums. Most releases contain a catalog sheet listing the available releases in the series. The series may be identified by a "Specially Priced Two Record Set" note on the top left corner of the sleeve front. Several titles were also issued on 8-track and cassette tape. Some of the releases where issued as parts of the subseries [l331450].
