I know this is extremely rare, but in this case the Internet is wrong.  
<ggg>

Decca was a very strong player in classical music.  They did have some  
popular acts, but not the new pop and rock and roll.  I don't think  
they really ever got into that business.  I however have hundreds of  
Decca classical disks.

Capitol was very much into rock and roll, as was (eventually) WEA.  Of  
course, in the late 60s, WEA had yet to totally merge, but Electra was  
strong into new pop and rock.

I know everything on the Internet is correct.  I must have not lived  
what I saw.  Hey, I LIVED it.
