Triola

A Nordic label, first founded in Finland in 1948 by Levytukku Oy.
Label Code: LC 0374 / LC 00374
In the late 1950s, it started to operate under different companies in other Nordic countries as well.

In Norway it was started in 1957 by Egil Monn Iversen A/S, a company formed and owned equally by the then The Monn-Keys members Egil Monn Iversen, Arne Bendiksen, Oddvar Sanne, Per Asplin, and Sølvi Wang. In 1964, Asplin, Monn Iversen, and Wang sold their shares in the company to Bendiksen. The company changed name to Arne Bendiksen A/S and continued to operate the Triola label (Sanne kept his 20% stake and continued to work for Bendiksen). In 1983 Arne Bendiksen A/S went bankrupt after being the victim of a financial scam, and relaunched as Arne Bendiksen Records AS.

In Denmark the label was started c. 1956 by the record company Mørks Musikforlag. Initially they released records by foreign artists; from 1958 also Danish artists like Dorthe Kollo. Their biggest selling artist in the period 1958-63 was Italian child star Robertino Loretti, billed simply as Robertino.
