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" and that "guitar groups are on the way out".

They instead signed The Tremeloes, who had auditioned the same day.

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