In the mid-50's each major record company had a few megastars that they were trying to promote.
Name at least one, of the biggest stars signed to each of these record labels RCA, Decca and Capitol during that period.

Can't beat Elvis for RCA - how about Bill Haley and the Comets for Decca and Frank Sinatra for Capitol (though hardly rock and roll)?

Too easy.
Elvis Costello.
A superb album with a one of the most iconic album covers ever produced (and often copied/imitated)
Just listening to "Nite Klub" as I type this. I just love the verse....
"I won't dance in a club like this
All the girls are slags
and the beer tastes just like p*ss"
Oh that track takes me back to wearing my tonic suit, parka and Jam shoes!

"Elvis" - just kidding of course.
Don't worry Scott even with the clues that Mike gave you I missed it. So who's the numpty then? (there's that word again)
