The American branch of Decca bought controlling interest in [[Creator/{{Universal}} Universal Pictures]] in 1952, before being merged with [[Creator/{{MCA}} MCA Records]] in 1962. The British branch was purchased by [=PolyGram=] in 1980, which was in turn purchased by Creator/UniversalMusicGroup in 1998, reuniting the two Decca labels for the first time since 1943. Sadly, a huge number of original Decca master tapes owned by UMG and stored at Ride/UniversalStudios Hollywood were destroyed in a fire in 2008.

MCA dissolved the American branch of Decca in 1973, shortly after singer Dobie Gray released the single "Drift Away" as the label's final release, and which became a Top 5 hit. The British branch was purchased by [=PolyGram=] in 1980, which was in turn purchased by Creator/UniversalMusicGroup in 1998, reuniting the two Decca labels for the first time since 1943.

In 1962, the British branch infamously turned down a young, up-and-coming band known as Music/TheBeatles. They did, however, eventually sign on what would become another one of the world's greats, Music/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}}. Ironically, the American branch did issue the "My Bonnie" single by Tony Sheridan and the Beat Brothers (a.k.a. the Beatles) the same year, making it the first Beatles release in the U.S.; it sold poorly and the few copies that survived are now true collector's items worth thousands of dollars.
