Nice comp. Wow, that was a good career period for Mr. Twitty.
Does anyone know why he was with MCA for a long time, left for WEA, and then returned to MCA for the rest of his output? The obvious guess would be "better offers", but I was wondering if it might've had something to do with the departure of a key executive.

Andy, I'm only speculating, but Conway may have wanted to follow MCA Nashville's head honcho Jimmy Bowen to Elektra/Asylum, even though Bowen only stayed briefly during his first tour of duty at MCA. Conway likely followed him to E/A Nashville once his MCA contract expired.
Bowen remained in charge following WEA's decision to transfer E/A's entire country roster to the Warner Brothers label, then returned to MCA Nashville as president in '83. It was probably another case of Twitty waiting out his contract before re-signing with MCA some three years later.
Not long afterward, Bowen bolted once again, this time for Capitol Nashville, but Conway remained with MCA.

To Yah Shure:
Your explanation is very plausible. Quite fitting Bowen's hit was titled "I'm Stickin' With You".
