MCA repackaged two of Elton John's best albums, Tumbleweed Connection and Madman Across the Water, as a single-cassette release in the early '80s. It's not necessarily a bad way to purchase the albums, but the presentation and fidelity are a little shabby, and the vinyl records and subsequent CD reissues are a much more preferable way to acquire these albums. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
