Music Corporation of America was founded in 1924 by Jules Stern, as a booking
agency.
MCA entered the recorded music business in 1962 with the purchase of US Decca Records, including US Coral Records and US Brunswick Records. As American Decca owned Universal Pictures, MCA assumed full ownership of Universal and made it into the top film studio in town. In 1966, MCA formed Uni Records, and in 1967 they purchased US Kapp Records. In 1971, MCA consolidated its labels into MCA Records. In Germany, the MCA label came on the scene in 1969. After a year of independence, Teldec started handling its manufacturing and distribution. Several different numbering systems existed. |
