Omega is a Dutch record label that released records under Omega and its sub label Omega International from the 1940s through to the 1990s. The distribution was handled by Dureco.[1] In Belgium, its releases were handled by Fonior.[2] Some of the artists to have their work released on the label in the early 1960s include The Dutch Cocktail Trio.[3][4] In the 1970s, Omega pushed out MOR music and also artists from non English speaking European countries such as Germany, France, Italy and Spain.[5]
