Can you name the creator of the British Expeditionary Force, the Territorial Army, the Imperial General Staff, and the Officers' Training Corps? The man who laid the foundation stones of MI5, MI6, the RAF, the LSE, Imperial College, the "redbrick" universities, and the Medical Research Council?

Alfred Matthew "Weird Al" Yankovic is an American singer-songwriter, film/record producer, satirist, and author. He is known for his humorous songs that make light of popular culture and often parody specific songs by contemporary musical acts, original songs that are style pastiches of the work of other acts, and polka medleys of several popular songs, featuring his favored instrument, the accordion. His works have earned him four Grammy Awards and a further eleven nominations, four gold records, and six platinum records in the United States. This Hi-Res collection includes all of his studio albums.

“Without a doubt Decca is the best in the world, and long may it continue to be so! Bravo!”-Luciano Pavarotti A glance at Decca’s extensive roster of artists since the company’s formation in February 1929 throws up household names in every decade – Ansermet, Ashkenazy, Bartoli, Brendel, Britten, Chailly, Ferrier, Flagstad, Fleming, Jansen, Karajan, Nilsson, Pavarotti, Solti, Sutherland, Tebaldi, Uchida… the list goes on and on. In fact, if you name a major classical artist of the last 90 years, there is a good chance they will have recorded for Decca and the labels that make up Decca as we know it today. 2019 affords us to celebrate a classical legacy that continues to thrive.
