MCA Records was an American record label owned by MCA Inc. established in 1972, though MCA had released recordings under that name in the United Kingdom from the 1960s. The label achieved success in the 1970s through the 1980s, often by acquiring other record labels, such as ABC, Motown, and Geffen. The MCA record label was folded into Universal Music Group's Geffen Records in 2003, but Universal's now-renamed Music Corporation of America continues to use the MCA moniker.
