 law.com - MCA Records Wins Barbie Battle
The controversy began with MCA's 1997 distribution of the song by the Danish pop group Aqua.
Although the court noted that "MCA used Barbie's name to sell copies of the song," it held the use was noncommercial because the song was social commentary on Barbie's image and the cultural values she represents.
The makers of Barbie dolls have lost a high-profile trademark battle against the record company that produced the hit 1997 song "Barbie Girl."

 TAXI A&R Interview: Mitch Brody, MCA Records
I read record reviews, take meetings with people who have bands they want me to hear, maybe take meetings with producers who are working with a bands on spec, or various ways I hear of a band.
Whereas, if I was to sign a band that had not made their record yet, they might need a couple of months to write, and then they might want to go into the studio in three or four months, and then they might be in the studio for two or three months.
I would say the average is probably in the $75,000 to $200,000 range to record a record.

 MCA Records Country Music Hall of Fame Series - Slipcue E-Zine
For years, this MCA disc was the only Ernest Tubb record in print domestically, outside of a few random releases on collector labels.
Outstanding retrospective of the best "cowboy" singers ever; from their first 1934 recordings with Roy Rogers in the band, to their final Decca sessions in 1954 (when none of the original members were left in the band).
One exception was the MCA "Country Music Hall of Fame" series which came out in the early 1990s -- most of the CDs in that series were pretty darn good, and had 16 tracks apiece.

 Plan Could Signal End Of MCA Brand

In 1962, MCA Inc. acquired Decca Records, which turned into MCA Records in 1973.

Ted’s first record deal was in 1965, at the age of 22, with Capitol Records, with his group “The Teddy Neeley Five”, where he recorded an album entitled, appropriately enough, “Teddy Neeley”.
Soon, he got his fifties-style group, the Teddy Neeley Five, signed with Columbia Records and they got their lucky break with their album featuring the star-penned liner notes and photos of a short-haired, cleanshaven Ted with Darren.
Best known for his astounding vocal range in the role of Jesus Christ, in Norman Jewison's 1973 movie adaptation of Broadway stage musical Jesus Christ Superstar (in the Broadway stage version of which he was the Christ understudy and LA stage version of which he played the title role).
