Decca Sign Paul McCartney

He gets a deal nearly half a century after the label rejected The Beatles

Sir Paul McCartney has signed to Decca almost 50 years after the record label passed on The Beatles.

Decca bosses have become the butt of music industry jokes after rejecting the Fab Four and telling manager Brian Epstein that his group had "no future in showbusiness".

But now they're giving McCartney another chance - the rocker will release his new ballet score Ocean's Kingdom through Decca in October.
