2. History
 Universal Music was once originally known as MCA records
when it was attached to Universal Pictures. Its origins go back to
when the American branch of Decca Records in 1934 was
established. MCA Inc. bought American Decca in 1962 which led
to the present organization being formed when its parent
company Seagram bought PolyGram and merged it with
Universal Music Group in 1998. However, the name made it’s
debut in 1996 when MCA Music Entertainment Group was
renamed Universal Music Group. The PolyGram acquisition
included Deutsche Grammophon which can be traced to
Berliner Gramophone making Deutsche Grammophon UMG's
oldest unit which is it’s Canadian unit which comes from a
Berliner Gramophone breakaway firm the Compo Company.
