Rock-O-Rama Records began to publish Finnish licenced recordings from Propaganda Records in 1983. [ [http://projekt-nordland.de/ Rock-O-Rama History] ] Almost all the bands sung in Finnish. Later Propaganda withdrew their contracts, because Egoldt had developed a reputation for questionable business practices before he began to release records byfar right bands. [ [http://www.propaganda.fi Propaganda Records] ] Rock-O-Rama has been accused of defrauding labels and bands of royalties, and of issuing or reissuing records without the consent of the labels and the bands. Rock-O-Rama folded in 1994 after a police raid, and the name Rock-O-Rama was sold soon after Egoldt's death in 2005.
