Durium Records

The label of a Durium record pressed for the Swedish market.

Durium Records was the name of two United Kingdom-based (and one Italian) record labels.

Durium (UK)

Durium Records was a United Kingdom-based record label of the 1930s. Its product and marketing were similar to that of the United States record company Hit of the Week Records (described in more detail in that article). Durium Records sold their single-sided paper gramophone records from around 1930 to 1933. They were also exported to other European countries including Sweden and Denmark (see illustration).

Durium (Italy)

Durium Records was also an Italian record label that was active from 1935 to 1989. It was distributed under its own name in the UK in the 1960s, first by Decca Records and then by Pye Records, with whom it had a UK hit, "Zorba's Dance" by Marcello Minerbi, which reached number 6 in 1965.^[1]

Among its other acts were Marino Marini and Nini Rosso.
