===1945β1956=== After World War II, American Decca releases were issued in the United Kingdom on the Brunswick label until 1968 when the [[MCA Records]] label was introduced in the UK. During the war, British Decca sold its American branch. By 1952, Brunswick was put under the management of Decca's [[Coral Records]] subsidiary. That same year, Brunswick resumed releasing new material, initially as [[rhythm and blues]] specialty label,<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RR8EAAAAMBAJ&q=%22new+r%26b+life+for+brunswick%22&pg=PA27 |title=''The Billboard'', 13 December 1952, p. 27, col.5 |date=1952-12-13 |access-date=2014-06-29}}</ref> adding [[pop music]] in 1957.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iyAEAAAAMBAJ&q=%22a+famous+label+with+the+great+tradition%22+%2B+%22music-radio%22&pg=PA33 |title=Billboard β Google Books |date=1957-03-30 |access-date=2014-04-04}}</ref> Later in the 1950s, American Decca made Brunswick its leading [[rock and roll]] label, featuring artists such as [[Buddy Holly & the Crickets]], with releases having backup vocals (by The Picks or The Roses) and labeled under the group name without reference to Holly. Hit records by Buddy Holly were released during the same period of his career on the co-owned Coral Records. The records released on Coral by Holly normally were without backup vocals, with the exception of "Rave On" and "Early In The Morning". In 1957, Brunswick became a subsidiary label to Coral.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LyAEAAAAMBAJ&q=brunswick+%2B+coral+%2B+billboard+%2B+ring&pg=PA21 |title=Billboard β Google Books |date=1957-03-09 |access-date=2014-04-04}}</ref> A pre-[[The Four Seasons (band)|Four Seasons]] [[Nick Massi]] made his recording debut for Brunswick in 1959.<ref>"Record Reviews."
