'''Availability:''' Uncommon. Check your thrift stores for tapes featuring this logo on the cover. It was seen on tapes such as the 1988 video release of ''E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial'' and the 1989 release of ''The Land Before Time'' (1991 and 1996 reprints use the first MCA/Universal logo). Others include the mid-late '80s releases of ''Back to the Future'', a 1987 reprint of ''Play Misty for Me'' (which reused 1981 box art), ''An American Tail'', ''*batteries not included'', and ''Dragnet''. Since MCA Records was one of the U.S.' largest record companies of the time, it also can be seen on music related tapes that predate the founding of [[MCA Music Video]], such as ''Olivia Newton-John: Twist of Fate'', ''U2 Live at Red Rocks: Under a Blood Red Sky'', and ''Jimmy Buffett: Live by the Bay''. Among the last releases to use this logo were ''Harvey'', ''Dad'', and reissues of eleven James Stewart films. It can also be found on Canadian Alliance Releasing Home Video VHS releases of ''Nightbreaker'', ''Deadly Innocents'', ''State of Mind'' (AKA: ''Private War''), ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie'', ''American Boyfriends'', ''Iron Eagle II'', ''Cameron's Closet'', ''Nukie'', ''A Whisper to a Scream'', ''Final Cut'' (1989) (AKA: ''Lights! Cameras! Murder!''), ''Bedroom Eyes II'', ''Reason to Die'', and ''Hot Times at Montclair High'', among possible others. Some tapes up until 1991 with the MCA/Universal Home Video print logo on the cover may still have this due to being reprints of earlier MCA titles, such as ''Arabesque''. It was also recently spotted on the 1991 Canadian Cineplex Odeon Video VHS release of ''The Grifters''. However, this does not appear on the French Canadian International Video Entertainment release of ''Eddie et les Cruisers II: Eddie est de retour'' (''Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives'').
