The Regimental Band of the Coldstream Guards, made up of members of the military who guard the Queen of England at her royal palaces, have signed a deal with Universal Music Group subsidiary Decca Records that’s reportedly worth £1 million. For… albums of military music. “If they’re good enough for the Queen, they’re good enough for Decca,” said a label bigwig, which I think translates to “C’mon, this may seem crazy, but in a country where Paul Potts and Crazy Frog can top the charts, this isn’t too much of a risk!” [Times of London]
