Specimen Stock Certificate printed by Hamilton Bank Note New York. Please specify color. Decca Records is a British record label established in 1929 by Edward Lewis. Its US label was established in late 1934 by Lewis, Jack Kapp (the first president of the Decca Record company of the USA) and Milton Rackmil, who later became American Decca\'s president too. In 1937, anticipating Nazi aggression leading to World War II, Lewis sold American Decca and the link between the UK.and US Decca label was broken for several decades. The British label was renowned for its development of recording methods, while the American company developed the concept of cast albums in the musical genre. Both wings are now part of the Universal Music Group. The US Decca label became MCA Records, which formed half of what is now UMG (Universal Music Group). The name dates back to a portable gramophone called the \"Decca Dulcephone\" patented in 1914 by musical instrument makers Barnett Samuel and Sons. The name \"Decca\" was coined by Wilfred S. Samuel by merging the word \"Mecca\" with the initial D of their logo \"Dulcet\" or their trademark \"Dulcephone\". Samuel, a linguist, chose \"Decca\" as a brand name as it was easy to pronounce in most languages. That company was eventually renamed the Decca Gramophone Co. Ltd. and then sold to former stockbroker Edward Lewis in 1929. Within years, Decca Records was the second largest record label in the world, calling itself \"The Supreme Record Company\". Decca bought the UK branch of Brunswick Records and continued to run it under that name. In the 1950s, the American Decca studios were located in the Pythian Temple in New York City.
